Microscopic Anatomy Flashcards
What are glial cells - neuroglia
Supportive cells both structurally and functionally
What are the types of 3 types of neuron according to polarity
Unipolar
Bipolar
Multipolar
What is a unipolar neuron
A single neuron that divides further into 2 branches
Where does the 2 branches of a unipolar neuron go to
CNS and PNS
What is a bipolar neuron
They have two processes separated by the cell body
What is a multipolar neuron
More than two processes - there is a single axon and multiple dendrites
What are the two types of neurons according to morphological classification (length of axon and dendrite)
Glogi type 1 neuron
Golgi type 2 neuron
What is a Golgi type 1 neuron
Long axon
What is a Golgi type 2 neuron
Short axon
