glial cells

Question 1

Which 4 glial cells are in the CNA and which 2 are in the PNS

Answer 1

CNS:
Oligodendrocyte
Astrocyte
Microglia
Ependymal

PNS:
Schwann
Satellite

Question 2

The large, star-shaped cell of the CNS with many processes. Physically supports CNS neurons and carefully regulates interstitial fluid make-up

Answer 2

Astrocyte

Question 3

Flat, pancake-shaped cells of the PNS that wrap around the cell bodies of neurons to physically support the cell bodies and regulate the exchange of material between the cell body and the IF

Answer 3

Satellite

Question 4

Myelinating glial cells of the CNS. Octopus-shaped and wrap axons in dozens of layers of myelin. One oligodendrocyte can myelinate several sections of several axons

Answer 4

oligodendrocyte

Question 5

The glial cell of the PNS that can either myelinate a segment of an axon of a neuron or it can enclose a dozen or so unmyelinated axons in a bundle to insulate them

Answer 5

Schwann

Question 6

The small, star-shaped cell of the CNS with macrophage function

Answer 6

Microgila

Question 7

The single sheet of cuboidal/columnar cells that are similar to an epithelium…it lines the ventricles and central canal of the CNS and produces CSF and helps it circulate through the CNS

Answer 7

Ependymal
