- neurons — longest cells in body —
cannot divide after injury has a large cell
body w/ large nucleus and nucleolus —
extending from cell body are branched
projections called dendrites (receive info
from other neurons) and one axon
(conducts info to other cells) bc axons are
very long and slender, they are also called
nerve fibres
- neuroglia — several kinds of supporting
cells support and repair neural tissue and
supply nutrients
