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. The CNS integrates balance
and limb position and coordinates your recovery by
commanding the appropriate skeletal muscles. The CNS is
also the seat of higher learning, performing functions as

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.
