Schwann cells Ependymal cells Astrocytes Oligodendrocytes Microglia Satellite cells Axons of unipolar neurons are insulated by , which increase the speed of the electrical impulse. The ventricles of the brain are lined with , which form an epithelial layer that is permeable to cerebrospinal fluid. The myelin sheath of the Central Nervous System is formed by . Cell bodies of unipolar neurons are insulated from adjacent cell bodies by . are the neuroglia, which help to regulate the reuptake of neurotransmitters from neural tissue. The macrophages of the Central Nervous System, which function to remove foreign microorganisms, are called .

The cell body and dendrites are called dendrites. Glial elements conduct nerve impulses and are supported and assisted by observations away from the cell body. Motor neurons draw and label your sheath cells. Examine the slide labeled 'dendrites and nucleus'. Be sure to identify the cell body and axon.
