~ pathway for neuron recovery after injury
~
What do astrocytes form?
components of blood brain barrier.
What is the only in the brain and spinal cord?

What does Oligodendrocyte do?
~insulates axons by myelin sheath
Difference in Oligodendrocyte and swan cell
~sends to lots of different neruo ns “snap bracelets”
~1 on 1 relationship and with in the axon
Schwann cell what do they do?
insulates axon by providing myelin sheath
in PNS only
Neuroal stem cells are present where?
in kids and adults
Explain Neuroal stem cells
~immature and undifferentiated
~precursors to neurons and glia

~self renewal
What is leads to proliferation?
growth factor in Neuroal stem cells
What leads to increased growth factor?
aerobic exercise
how do neurons communicatie
sunapse
What is the synapse?
point of connection from one neuron to another
what is a neruotransmitter
a chemical that is released into the synaptic cleft which communicates information from one neuron to another
What happens and the end of the axon?
neurotransmitter needs to get from soma to presynaptic terminal
What are the two types of transports?
Anterograde transport
Retrograde transport
Anterograde transport
Neurotransmitter moves from soma through axon to the presynaptic terminal
Retrograde transport
Transport of substances from synapse back to the soma
Axo-somatic synapse

What is convergence
multiple axons terminate on a singe neuron
