Exam 2 Part 9 Flashcards
4 neuroglia in CNS
astrocytes
ependymal cells
Microglia
oligodendrocytes
2 neuroglia PNS
satellite cells
neurolemmocytes
astrocytes
in CNS. largest, most abundant glial cell; part of blood-brain barrier
regulation, structural support
parivascular feet
ependymal cells
in CNS. line ventricles of brain and central canal of spinal column; involved in secretion of cerebrospinal fluid
microglia
in CNS. least common, smallest. number increases with infections, wander tissues, phagocytic
oligodendrocytes
in CNS. all extentions repeatedly wrap around multiple axons - protective covering = myelin sheath
satellite cells
in PNS. nourish, support, and separate neuron cell bodies in ganglia
Nuerolemmocytes
in PNS. cells whose plasma membranes form covering around axons of PNS; usually myelinated and thus forms myelin sheath
100-1000s needed to myelinate entire axon
myelin
insultation. white lipid protein within plasma membrane; speeds up conduction
Gaps in myelin sheath
nuerofibril nodes (nodes of Ranvier)
synapse
junction where nerve impulse transmitted between axon terminal of 1 neuron and: -neuron -gland -effector
nerve
collection of axons within PNS
axon and associated blood vessels held together by CT
endoneurium
CT around each nerve fiber
perineurium
CT surrounding groups of nerve fibers to fasicles
epineurium
surrounds many fasicles to form nerve
