CAUDAL
composed of highly folded collection of gray matter on the surface of the brain
few millimeters of the cerebral and cerebellar hemispheres
billions of neurons occupy the cortical areas of the brain
cortex
supporting cells specialized neurons
provide structural and metabolic support to the neurons
provide insulation guidance of development of neurons
with only 1type of process
glial cells or neuroglia
located in the PNS
surround the nerve cell bodies of ganglia
satellite cells
located in the central nervous system responsible for phagocytosis to remove waste
microglia
located in the peripheral nervous system responsible for axon myelination in the PNS
Schwann cells
enclosed bundles of the long fibers (axons), that connect the CNS to every other part of the body

Motor (Efferent) nerves
Mixed (both Afferent and Efferent in one) nerves

constitutes the major part of the brain.
occupies the anterior and middle cranial fossae and is directly related to the cranial vault.
• consists of two cerebral hemispheres
