    including neurons and glial cells. Neurons are cells that send and receive electro-chemical signals to and from the brain and nervous system. There are about 100 billion neurons in the brain. There are many more glial cells; they provide support functions for the neurons‚ and are far more numerous than neurons. There are many type of neurons. They vary in size from 4 microns (.004 mm) to 100 microns (.1 mm) in diameter. Their length varies from a fraction of an inch to several feet. Neurons are nerve

ALS progresses inexorably‚ eventually effecting bulbar neurons and cranial never motor nuclei. Because of this patients that are near the final stages of this disease often need substantial medical care to live.
