cellular constituents Flashcards
Some function can be restored by _____ neurons taking over some of the function.
surviving
once a neuron dies it is generally replaced/not replaced ?
not replaced
swelling of the cell bodies and the nuclei moves toward the plasma membrane
chromatolysis
The ________ results in the neuronal cell bodies undergoing chromatolysis
retrograde effect -
wallerian degeneration
the anterograde effects that results from cutting of axons .results in degeneration of the axon beyond the transection sites.
Oligodendrocyte– Myelination
Ratio
1 oligo: many axons
Component of blood-brain barrier; modulation of neuronal microenvironment
astrocyte
Line cerebral ventricles; ciliated; produce CSF
ependymal cells
latent phagocytic macrophages in CNS
microglial
Found in peripheral ganglia; provide support & modulate neuronal microenvironment
Satellite cell
Schwann cells lay down a _____ which forms an impervious “tube” surrounding the length of the axon.
basal lamina
can glialmyelinate axons, even after injury?
yes
Glial scars also provide a barrier to _____
regeneration
Glial cells give rise to most of the brain tumors: ______ and______
astrosytomas
glioblastomas
Multiple Sclerosis is the loss of myelin in the CNS. Which glial cells are implicated in this disease?
oligodendrocytes
