Neural tissue is found within the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the composition and constituent parts of neurones and their surrounding cells differ. A typical neuron such as a motor neuron will convey information from the nervous system to skeletal muscles. The cell body of the neuron will be located within the [[Spinal_Cord_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Grey_Matter|gray matter]] of the spinal cord and it will have an extension called an axon that is long and conveys the nerve impulse from the spine to the skeletal muscle. Neurons are used to manage many systems within the body as well as muscles.

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]].
