Within the central nervous system there are two major cell types; '''[[#Neurons|neurons]]''' which are the "functional" cells of the central nervous system and '''glial cells''' which play a supporting role within the CNS. Within the CNS there are also a number of other cells that play a supportive role to the neurone and these include [[#Astrocytes|astrocytes]], [[#Oligodendrocytes|oligodendrocytes]], [[#Microglial Cells|microglial cells]], [[#Ependymal Cells|ependymal cells]] and [[#Choroid Plexus Epithelial Cells|horoid plexus epithelial cells]]. | Within the central nervous system there are two major cell types; '''[[#Neurons|neurons]]''' which are the "functional" cells of the central nervous system and '''glial cells''' which play a supporting role within the CNS.
