NGSS.MS-LS1-3

Nerves throughout the body other than the brain and spinal cord.

• Autonomic Nervous System
• Somatic Nervous system
• Peripheral Nervous System
• Central Nervous System

Cells that are found between neurons and blood vessels.

• oligodendrocyte
• microglial cell
• astrocyte
• ependymal cell

The part of the neuron that receives nerve impulses.

• axon
• dendrite
• cell body
• axon terminus

White matter has this insulating covering that increases the rate at which an impulse can be carried.

• Schwann Cell
• axon membrane
• Neurilemma
• Myelin Sheath

Support neurons and phagocytize bacterial cells and other debris.

• microglia
• astrocytes
• ependymal cells
• oligodendrocytes

Align along axons and provide insulating layers of myelin in the brain and spinal cord.

• microglia 
• astrocytes
• ependymal cells
