intro to NS - neural and gilial structure 2 Flashcards
What is the NS composed of
nerves and glial cells
What glial cells are in PNS
Schwann cells
glial cells in CNS
astrocytes
oligodendrocytes
microglia
function of Schwann cells
productice myelin sheath
nutrient to non myelinated neuroens
function of oligodendrocytes
myelinate axons
what is myelin made of
layers of lipid in membrane of glial cells
function of astocytes
nutrition of neurones
repair and scarring after injury
function of microglial
defensive cells, remove debris
what are neuronal cell bodies in PNS
ganglia
what are neuronal cell bodies in CNS
nuclei
what are groups of nerve axons in PNS
anatomical nerves
what are groups of axons in CNS
tracts
how are PNS axons bound together
connective tissue sheaths
3 sheaths in the PNS axons
epineurium
perineurium
endoneurium
what is the epineurium
outer layer of all neurones
