Q

Also called “plasma”

A

Blood

38

Blood

39
Q

Its functions are:

transport of substance, immune response, and blood clotting

50
Q

The basic unit of the nervous system, which consists of structures that can conduct electrochemical signals as a form of information.

A

Nervous Tissue

51
Q

These are star-shaped cells that support and control the chemical environment around the neurons.

A

Astrocytes

52
Q

These are the most abundant glial cell in the CNS.

A

Astrocytes

53
Q

These are ovoid cells in the CNS that can transform into a phagocytic macrophage to clean neuronal debris and wastes.

A

Microglial cells

54
Q

These are ciliated cells that line the central cavities of the brain and the spinal cord and form a fairly permeable membrane between the cavities with cerebrospinal fluid and the tissues of CNS.

A

Ependymal cells

Q

These are responsible for the production of the myelin sheath.

A

Oligodendrocytes

56
Q

They surround the cell body of a neuron.

A

Satellite cells

57

A

Schwann cells

58
Q

Which two nervous tissues are in the PNS?

A
  1. Satellite cells
  2. Schwann cells
59
Q

These are characterized by the presence of ground substances and fibers that support, bind, and protect organs.

A

Connective tissues

60
Q

These are made up of highly specialized cells that contract to cause movement.

A

Muscular tissues

61
Q

These mainly contain networks of nerve cells that possess irritability and conductivity to allow the transmission and reception of electrochemical impulses.

A

Nervous tissues

62
Q

These are made up of tightly packed cells because they cover and protect bodily structures.
