Introduction

  • The CNS is composed of two major cell types:
    1. Neurons
    2. Glial cells, which include:
      • Astrocytes
      • Oligodendrocytes
      • Microglial cells
      • Ependymal cells
      • Choroid plexus epithelial cells
  • The response to injury varies with the cell type injured.
