parts

Answer 1

Nervous tissues

Question 2

What are nervous tissues composed of

Answer 2

neurons and nerve support cells

Question 3

Support cells called _______ insulate, protect, and support neurons

Answer 3

neuroglia

Question 4

A neuron consists of _____ and ______

Answer 4

dendrites and long axon

Question 5

neuron cell body

Answer 5

dendrites

Question 7

neuroglia or support cells that surrounds the neurons

Answer 7

long axons

Question 8

Neurons transmit information in the form of action potentials, store information, and integrate the evaluate data

Answer 8

Nervous tisues

Question 9

______ support, protect, and form specialized sheaths around axons

Answer 9

Neuroglia

Question 10

Located in the brain, spinal cord, and ganglia

Answer 10

Nervous tissues

Question 11

cells in the peripheral nervous system

Answer 11

Satellite cells
Schwann cells

Question 12

are precursors to skeletal muscle cells and are responsible for the ability of muscle tissue to regenerate.

Answer 12

Satellite cells

Question 13

do not have multiple cellular extensions, but instead each cell engulfs a segment of axon and forms a multilayered myelin sheath around it

Answer 13

Schwann cells

Question 14

Central nervous system

Answer 14

Microglia
Ependymal cells
Oligodendrocytes
Astrocytes

Question 15

cells that reside within the parenchyma of the nervous system, that share many if not all the properties of macrophages in other tissues, but that in their nonactivated or resting state have a characteristic “ramified” morphology not seen in resident macrophages of other organ systems.

Answer 15

Microglia

Question 16

are neuroepithelial multiciliated cells lining the spinal cord and cerebral ventricles [1], and are derived from radial glial cells in the embryo between embryonic Day 14 (E14) and E16

Answer 16

Ependymal cells

Question 17

myelinating cells of the central nervous system (CNS). They are the end product of a cell lineage which has to undergo a complex and precisely timed program of proliferation, migration, differentiation, and myelination to finally produce the insulating sheath of axons.

Answer 17

Oligodendrocytes

Question 18

a subtype of glial cells that make up the majority of cells in the human central nervous system (CNS). They perform metabolic, structural, homeostatic, and neuroprotective tasks such as clearing excess neurotransmitters, stabilizing and regulating the blood-brain barrier, and promoting synapse formation.

Answer 18

Astrocytes
