Introduction Here you have a schematic ghost image of the nerve tissue in the central nervous system. The main components of the tissue are slightly grey marked and difficult to distinguish.

Step 1.

The main components of the CNS tissue. The main components appear here in color. Locate the different components by extinguishing and lighting the list from top to bottom and back again. The white fields in the image actually contain a tightly packed mass of glial and neuronal protrusions, but these have been omitted for clarity. The details will come in the next step (step 2).

Step 2.

The different tissue components. Here is the "ghost picture" again, but now along with 4 flyouts. Start by activating list 1/ and unfold it. Examine the different parts. Continue with list 2/ and so on. The different structures of the lists can then be combined with each other. You have to zoom and move around a lot in this image.
