Step 1
The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of the brain and the spinal cord. The CNS collects information from the body and coordinates activity. The glial cell is considered as the most abundant cell type of the CNS. There are six types of glial cells, namely astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells, microglia, Schwann cells, and satellite cells.
