nerve tissue Flashcards
1
Q
astrocytes function
A
support cells maintain environment maintain blood brain barrier repair communicate via neurotransmitters CNS
2
Q
neurons types
A
CNS
multipolar - lots of axons, 1 dendrite
bipolar - 1 axon 1 dendrite
unipolar - 1 connection all the way through
axonic - axons and dendrites not distinct
3
Q
oligodendrocytes
A
myelinate neruons
can myelinate more than one
4
Q
microglia
A
phagoytic
5
Q
satellite cells
A
like astrocytes
maintain environment
support cells
6
Q
ependymal cells
A
maintain and secrete CSF
have microvilli to sample CSF
cake cilia to move CSF
lines ventricles and central canal of spinal cord
7
Q
Schwann cells
A
can myelinate 1 cell only
can support more than one by stabilising the position of acons and to isolate them from chemicals
