PRESIDENT of Swapo, Mr Sam Nujoma, has accused South Africa of numerous atrocities in Namibia, including killings, rape and tor­ ture, such as roasting alive. Mr Nujoma also maintained, in a state­ ment to the UN Human Rights Commission, that Pretoria was main­ taining its control over the territory through economic and military support from West Germany, Britain and the United States, and that martial law applied to two-thir~s of Namibia.

Last week we saw that tissues are not just haphazard piles of cells, but are cells organised into groups. This week I am going to describe just one tissue in detail, so that you can to some ex­ tent understand the beautiful coo.plexity of your own body. I have chosen nervou. tissue.

The nervous system cQnsists of two. parts. The-first part is the central ner­ vous system (eNS). This cQnsists of the brain and spinal cQrd. These are enclQsed in the skull and vertebral CQl­ umn (backbone), r~spectively. The second part is the Peripheral ner­ vous system (PNS) - "peripheral" --r-~ means tQwards the ,Qutside. The PNS QXol') consists Qfthe nerves that lie Qutside the CNS. These nerves CQnnect the CNS-tQ all parts Qfthe bQdy. NEURONS The cells that transmit nerve.impulses from Qne part Qf the bQdy to. anQther, are called neurons (singular neuron). l have made a sketch Qf Qne type' Qf neurQn in Fig.!. Neurons vary inlength up to. a metre. In a neuron, the nucleus lies iIi the cell body Qr perik8ryon. FrQm the cell body prQjeCt processes (fibres), called dendrites andaxQns. The cell bodymay have Qne Qr several dendrites, but Qn­ ly Qne axQn. Nerve impulses pass to the perikaryQn alQng dendrites and pass away frQm the cell body alQng the axQn. The cell body cQntains small bQdies called nissl bQdies which can be stain­ ed with a stain called cresy 1viQlet . You will see that the surfaces Qfthe bran­ ches Qfthe dendrites have little prQjec­ t,iQns. These are the-dendritic spines. These spines are the sites ofthe majori­ ty Qf synapses (described later). The aXQn is enclQsed in a sheath call­ ed the myelin sheath which is inter­ rupted at regular; intervals at ~he nodes of Ranvier. The regiQn bet­ ween any .two. ,nQdes is called an internode. NQt all neurQns lQo.k like the Qne in Fig.!. SQme differently shaped neurQns are sho.wn in Fig.3. The myelin sheath is made mainly Qf fatty material (lipid), but also cQntains prQtein.
