List the six different types of glial cells and explain their functions. Indicate which ones are found in the CNS, and which are found in the PNS.

How do the types of neurons found in the CNS and PNS differ in their functions? How does the cerebral cortex differ from the rest of the cerebrum? What are some similarities and differences between the somatic and autonomic nervous systems? Why might a person with a brain injury be able to understand the speech of others but not be able to speak? You step on a sharp rock, your leg jerks up, and a moment later you feel pain in your foot. Use the words: motor neuron, sensory neuron, and interneuron to explain what happened.
