glial cells Flashcards
glial cells located in the pns
schwann cells, satellite m
Satellite Cells
surround neuron cell bodies in spinal ganglia
group of neuron cell bodies located outside
CNS
Ganglion
Support and Protection, Homeostasis Regulation, nutrient supply, and neurotransmitter regulation
function of satellite cells
Myelinate axons in
PNS
neurolemmocytes
protective covering around an axon.
Functions to insulate axon produce faster nerve
impulses
myelin
helps regenerate damaged pns axons
schwann cells
what glial cells are located in the cns
astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, mircoglia, ependymal cells
Regulate transfer of materials from blood to the brain - help the workings of “blood -
brain barrier
astrocytes
make vessels less leaky
astrocytes
what myelinates axons in the cns
oligodendrocytes
phagocytize damaged neurons
microglia
line central canal and
ventricles - help circulate cerebrospinal fluid
(CSF
ependymal cells
