Lecture 4-5 Nervous System Flashcards
Where are ganglia found?
PNS
Four types of neuroglia
Astrocytes, microglia, ependymal cells, oligodendroglia
Most common neuroglial cell in gray matter, forms BBB
Astrocytes
In the brain, grey matter is on the…
outside
In the brain, with matter is on the….
Inside
What composes neurophil
(pink stuff btwn nuclei on microscopy)
Axons, dendrites, and astrocyte processes
What no neurons look like on microscopy?
Light purple, large, with small dark purple nucleus
What do astrocytes look like on microscopy
dark purple specks
Mesenchymal glial cells in charge of immune defense
Microglia
Glial cells that line the ventricles
Ependymal cells
The schwann cells of the brain, numerous glial cell in white matter
Oligodendroglia
Can oligodendrocytes of schwann cells myelinate multiple axons?
Oligodendrocytes
What are non-myelinated axons for and do they have schwann cells?
Yes/pain
Which neuroglial cell is the most identifyable?
ependymal cells
Most common glial cell in white matter?
Oligodendrocytes
