cells in neuro

Question 1

macroglia

Answer 1

astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, schwann, glioblasts

Question 2

microglia

Answer 2

macrophage cells that are primary immune cells

Question 3

ependymal

Answer 3

thin neuroepithelium lines ventricles and central canal

Question 4

astrocytes

Answer 4

fibrous, short dendrites, create and maintain brain environment. Store and distribute substrates and control development. produce synapses.

Cover the basal lamina to neuromuscular bridge to manage blood flow

Question 5

fibrous astrocytes

Answer 5

white matter, many fibrils, relatively few organelles, and exhibit long unbranched cellular processes.

Question 6

protoplasmic astrocytes

Answer 6

occur in the gray matter of the central nervous system. They have fewer fibrils within their cytoplasm, and cytoplasmic organelles are sparse. make contact with capillaries

Question 7

how do astrocytes manage blood flow

Answer 7

bridge neurone to BV
if neurone firing, increase Ca2+ release in astrocyte, release vocative substance that changes diameter of vessel to manage blood flow

Question 8

ependyma?

Answer 8

ciliated cuboidal and form the choroid plexus. allow signals to pass from CSF to CNS
