These cells are located in the CNS and produce cerebrospinal fluid.

• microglial cells

• oligodendrocytes

• ependymal cells

• Schwann cells

• astrocytes

These cells function as phagocytes for bacterial cells or cellular debris and are located in the CNS.

• microglial cells

• oligodendrocytes

• ependymal cells

• Schwann cells

• astrocytes

These structures act as a receptive surfaces and conduct impulses toward the c ell body.

• dendrites

• nissl fibers

• nuclei

• neurofibrils

• axons

These structures conduct impulses away from the cell body.

• dendrites

• nissl fibers

• nuclei

• neurofibrils

• axons

These neurons are specialized to carry impulses from peripheral receptors into the brain or spinal cord.

• sensory

• motor

• interneurons
