Document Summary

Classifying neurons: unipolar, one thing off cell body, dendrites at one end, axon at the other, bipolar, two things off cell body, two axons coming off, multipolar, many dendrites coming off cell body, multipolar interneuron, motor neurons, send messages to muscles and glands, sensory neurons, send messages from environment to the body. Plumbers and fixers : oligodendrocytes build myelin sheath, central nervous system, schwann cells build myelin sheath, many schwann cells around 1 axon, responsible for myelinating in the peripheral nervous system, astrocytes most typical glial cell, sitting between neurons, brings nutrients, blood barrier, protectors, some repair and maintenance, microglia function is to clean up crew, completely different from macro, cleaners. 20 have this (a) attack, better, worse between attacks: treatment, attacks, progression, drugs aimed at working to stop progression, stopping progression results in no more loss of function, symptoms.
