===Central nervous system===
**Abundant cytoplasm - '''key feature'''.
====Neuron====
**Often very large cells, with angled edges.
*Abundant cytoplasm - '''key feature'''.
**Prominent nucleolus.
*Often very large cells, with angled edges.
**Nissl substance (granular perinuclear material - rough ER).
*Prominent nucleolus.
*Glial cells.
*Nissl substance (granular perinuclear material = rough endoplasmic reticulum).
**Oligodendrocyte.
 
***Small round nuclei (lymphocyte-like nucleus) - '''key feature'''.
====Glial cells====
***May resemble a ''fried egg'' on H&E (clear cytoplasm, central nucleus).
*Oligodendrocyte.
**Astrocyte.
**Small round nuclei (lymphocyte-like nucleus) - '''key feature'''.
***Irregular non-ovoid nucleus - '''key feature'''.
**May resemble a ''fried egg'' on H&E (clear cytoplasm, central nucleus).
***Nuclei less dense than in oligodendrocyte.
*Astrocyte.
***Close to blood vessels.
**Irregular non-ovoid nucleus - '''key feature'''.
***Form blood-brain barrier.
**Nuclei less dense than in oligodendrocyte.
***Cytoplasm normally ''not'' visible.
**Close to blood vessels.

**Form blood-brain barrier.
**Microglia - macrophage of the brain (derived from monocyte).
**Cytoplasm normally ''not'' visible.
***May be large.

***May have vesicles.
*Microglia - macrophage of the brain (derived from monocyte).
***Rarely seen in normal tissue.
**Typically large cells with abundant cytoplasm.

===Peripheral nervous system===
====Ganglion cell====
*Nerve cell body.
*Found in ganglions - encapsulated body ~ 100-300 μm.
*Large round nucleus with prominent nucleolus - '''key feature'''.
*Abundant eosinophilic granular cytoplasm.
