Answer 5

glutamate

Question 6

what are the neuroglial cells that surround dorsal root ganglia

Answer 6

satellite cells

Question 7

in which part of the brain is the dentate gyrus

neural crest

Question 10

what is the difference between protoplasmic and fibrous astrocytes

Answer 10

protoplasmic are found in gray matter (cortex) and fibrous astrocytes are found in white matter (groups of axons)

Answer 12

really big cells that help you plant your feet, only in motor cortex

Answer 13

motor cortex

Question 14

what type of neurons are multipolar

Answer 14

motor and interneurons

Question 15

what type of neurons are pseudo- or unipolar

Answer 15

sensory (because have dendrites, cell body, then sensory area thing)
