Q

Neuroglial cells

A

found in both PNS & CNS
Helper cells
Help our neurons

17
Q

What are the jobs of astrocytes?

A

Maintains the blood- brain barrier

Forms & hold synapses

18
Q

What near blood vessels?

A

Astrocytes

19
Q

What else do astrocytes do?

A

Astrocytes completely cover the blood vessel, forming a to leave that blood siren & into the brain.
Sucks out certain nutrients from the blood & sending them to the neurons.

20
Q

Microloglial cells

A

Phagocytes

21
Q

What does microloglial do?

A

Moves around CNS & EAT UP THINGS THAT DON’T BELONG IN THE CNS.
Keeps CNS as clean as possible.

22
Q

Epedymal cells

A

Found in the ventricle of the brain & spinal cord.

Moves cerebral spinal fluid.

23
Q

What does cerebral spinal fluid do?

A

Provides nutrients to CNS

24
Q

Oligodrocytes

A

Produces myelin, they make enough myelin to cover 60 neurons
They crawl up and down the neurons to see where myelin needs to be repaired.

25
Q

Satellite cell

A

People don’t know what it does

26
Q

Shwann cell

A

produces little myelin

wraps around the neuron like a cake roll.

27
Q

When the adequate stimulus is added to an axon…

A

The amplitude of the action potential does not vary with the strength of the stimulus.
