Anatomy review for the nervous system - Week 12 Study Guide 1. Distinguish the difference between neuron‚ neuroglial cells‚ Schwann cells‚ neurofibrils‚ and astrocytes. Neuron: masses of nerve cells in nervous tissue Neuroglial Cells: provide neurons physiological requirements (fill spaces‚ give support to neurons) Schwann Cells: larger axons of peripheral neurons enclosed in sheaths Neurofibrils: thin‚ long fibrils that run through body of neuron and extends to axon and dendrites; gives neuron
