[edit] In

In science, a small difference may cause a big error. That is why we need standards. A small difference in spelling may mean two very different things. That is why we need standard terminologies. Whereas neuro-, neural and nervous describe things that are related to nerve cells and glial cells, neuron, neuronal and neuroblast refer only to nerve cells. Hence neuroepithelium, neural tube, and nervous tissue give rise to, or contain, both nerve cells and glial cells, but neuron and neuroblast are strictly for the types of cells (mature and differentiating nerve cells respectively) they name.
