Structural Classification1) multipolar2) bipolar3) unipolar2. Functional Classification1) sensory/afferent neurons* dendrites associated with receptors* terminate in CNS2) motor/efferent neurons* cell bodies in CNS* terminate in effector organs3) interneurons or association neurons* entire cell in CNS* connect motor and sensory neuronsAnikó Szabó Hill MD, PhD 5 of 7BIOL 2304/ 2101 Human Anatomy Chapter 8 Intro to Nervous System STRUCTURE OF A CHEMICAL SYNAPSETypes of synapsesAnikó Szabó Hill MD, PhD 6 of 7BIOL 2304/ 2101 Human Anatomy Chapter 8 Intro to Nervous System MyeIin1) in the PNS - Schwann cells myelin sheathneurilemmanodes of Ranvier2) in the CNS - oligodendrocytesGRAY MATTER AND WHITE MATTERa. gray matter = CNS: nucleus & cortexPNS: ganglionb. white matter = CNS: tract PNS: nerveCNS & PNS: pathwaysAnikó Szabó Hill MD, PhD 7 of
