Chapter 2: Nerve Processes - The Pathways of Communication

Venture into the realm of nerve processes, the specialized extensions of neurons that enable communication across vast distances. Trace the intricate pathways of dendrites, the primary receivers of information, and unravel the secrets of axons, the long, slender extensions that transmit messages away from the cell body.

Discover the specialized structures that facilitate efficient and reliable communication between neurons, including myelin sheaths and nodes of Ranvier. Explore the fascinating world of synaptic connections, where neurons interact with each other to form complex networks.

Chapter 3: Neuroglial Cells - The Unsung Heroes of the Nervous System

Uncover the crucial role of neuroglial cells, the supporting cast of the nervous system. Meet astrocytes, the star-shaped cells that maintain the blood-brain barrier and provide metabolic support to neurons. Explore the world of oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells, the myelin-producing cells that insulate nerve processes and accelerate communication.

Discover the specialized functions of microglia, the immune cells of the nervous system, and their role in protecting the brain from infection and injury. Learn about the contributions of ependymal cells and tanycytes, specialized cells that line the ventricles and facilitate communication between the nervous system and the rest of the body.
