nervous tissue Flashcards
- MADE UP OF MULTIPOLAR CELLS WHICH ARE BASOPHILIC IN STAINING
- PRESENCE OF NERVE PROCESSES
- PRESENCE OF FISH-EYE NUCLEUS
nervous tissue
Layers of the Cerebellar Cortex
Outer molecular layer
Middle ganglionic layer
Inner granular layer
types of neuroglia
Ependymal cells Protoplasmic astrocytes Fibrous astrocytes Oligodendroglia (perineuronal, interfascicular and perivascular) Microglia
functions of neuroglia
Control environment within the CNS
Shuttle nutritive molecules from blood vessels to neurons
Remove waste products
Maintains the electrochemical surroundings of neurons
Metabolism of neurotransmitters
Guide developing neurons to correct locations in early development; in adult, provide structural support for nerve cells
Pseudounipolar
Fine Nissl bodies uniformly dispersed in cytoplasm
Presence of numerous satellite cells/amphicytes
Associated with myelinated fibers
Sensory
dorsal root ganglion cell
Multipolar
Intermediate sized Nissl bodies at periphery
Few satellite cells
Associated with unmyelinated nerve fibers
Motor
Autonomic ganglion
Types of Nerve Fibers according to ensheathement
Myelinated with neurolemma
Myelinated without neurolemma
Nonmyelinated with neurolemma
Nonmyelinated without neurolemma
