Cells Flashcards
Tissue macrophage remove debris
Microglia
Macroglia that forms myelin
Oligodendrocytes & Schwann cells
Regeneration and remyelination
Schwann cells
Envelope synapses and forms the BBB
Asteocytes
Astrocytes in the White matter
Fibrous astrocytes
Astrocytes in the Grey matter, maintains appropriate concentration of ions and NT
Protoplasmic astrocytes
Where NT receptors are found
Dendrites
Where organelles and nucleus is seen
Cell Body/ Soma
Normal nerve RMP
-70 mv
Only excitable cells
Consists of rapid depolarization/ upstroke followed by repolarization
Action Potential
Causes reduction of potassium leak out of the cells
Hyperpolarization
Where AP start
Initial Segment
Unmyelinated portion of the axon
Nodes of Ranvier
Transmitting portion
Axon
Branches of the Axon
Neural Fibril
Distal tips of the axon
Terminal Bouton (End feet)
