Question 0

Oligodendrocytes

Answer 0

To do myelin wrapping of axons. Form the repeater in CNS.

Question 1

Astrocytes

Answer 1

Form much of the structure of the brain in which neurons reside. They regulate the brain environment and form the blood-brain barrier.

Question 2

Schwann Cells

Answer 2

To do myelin wrapping of axons. Form repeaters in the PNS.

Question 3

Microglial Cells

Answer 3

Scavenger cells that ingrate through the brain when some area is injured and remove debris. Maintain proper ionic constituencies in the extra cellular space, and providing the structural framework in which neurons initially gone during development.

Question 4

Ependymal Cells

Answer 4

Line the central cavities of brain and spinal cord. Help circulate cerebrospinal fluid filling those spaces.

Question 5

Satellite Cells

Answer 5

Surround nerve cell bodies in peripheral nervous system. Regulate chemical environment around neurons.
