Nervous System The two major subdivisions of the nervous system are the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The CNS consists of the brain and the spinal cord, it's responsible for integrating, processing, and coordinating sensory data and motor commands.

…structural support; regulate ion, nutrient, and dissolved gas concentrations; absorb and recycle neurotransmitters; assists in tissue repair after injury. (3) Oligodendrocytes- myelnate CNS axons; provide structural framework. (4) Microglia- remove cell debris, waste, and pathogens by phagocytes. There are two types of neuralgia of the PNS. They are: (1) Satellite cells- surround neuron cell bodies in ganglia. (2) Schwann cells- cover all axons in the PNS; responsible for myclination of some peripheral axons; participate in repair process after injury.
