 * Name the two general types of "glial cells" found in the peripheral nervous system, and state which is found within ganglia and which is found within peripheral nerves. Describe their function(s).
 * Name the 2 types of cellular processes elaborated by peripheral neurons, describe their microscopic anatomy, and state their function(s).
 * Describe how the various types of subcellular organelles found in neuronal cell bodies gives clues about the general properties of neurons.
 * Name the three regions of the axon and describe the functions of each of these regions.
