Notes:

Figure 1 Target cells can be another nerve cell, muscle cell, or gland
cell. (Some even secrete hormones directly to blood capillaries)

Figure 6 Ependymal Cell Functions

Q’s:
Explain the difference between the function of Schwann cells (in PNS) and oligodendrocytes (in CNS)

- Schwann cell only produces myelin sheath for one segment of only 1 axon (of a single neuron); it’s
not myelinating segments of multiple neurons like oligodendrocytes
