Description: (a) A neuron seen at high magnification (confocal microscopy). (b) A diagrammatic representation of a neuron with glial cells, also known as Schwann cells (oligodendrocytes in the CNS). The Schwann cells wrap their membranes around the axon at regular intervals, creating a myelin sheath. (c) The structures involved in the processing of information by a neuron; information flows only in the direction shown.
