What are the supporting cells of the nervous system?

glial cells (sometimes called neuroglia).In the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cellsform a myellin sheath around axons, and in the central nervous system, Oligodendrocytes do the same thing for the neurons there; and Astrocytes (Astroglia) surround brain neurons to hold them in place, provide nutrients and oxygen to them, insulate neurons from one another, destroy pathogens and remove dead neurons, and possibly in some ways modulate neurotransmission.


How are cells from different living thing alike and and how are they different?

alike answer: because all living things are made up of cells Different answer: because a cell can perform a different task or function in a different living thing


The cells in your body are continuously disassembled and reassembled Which one what kinds of body cells lasts longest-that is turns over the least often?

Well until recently, the answer to your question would be brain and nerve tissue. However, there is new experimentation in nerve tissue regeneration that looks promising. But going back to old-school information, the reason you can relearn something after a brain injury is that even though the brain doesn't regenerate in many ways, it can reassign tasks to different areas that are underused and unharmed. The other thing that does not regenerate are the cillia hairs in your cochleas (ears). Every time one of those hairs falls out, you lose a little bit of your hearing ability. my answer is : NEURONS


What would life be like without neurons?

Neurons are the basic constituent of brain tissues. Without neurons person will be unable to do anything, to sense anything or to thing anything. Life would be extremely hard to imagine without the neurons. Neurons are part of nervous system.


Are nerves and nerons the same thing?

You may mean 'are nerves and neurons the same?' They are not the same Nerve : Any of the cordlike bundles of fibers made up of neurons through which sensory stimuli and motor impulses pass between the brain or other parts of the central nervous system and the eyes, glands, muscles, and other parts of the body. Nerves form a network of pathways for conducting information throughout the body. Neuron: Any of the impulse-conducting cells that constitute the brain, spinal column, and nerves, consisting of a nucleated cell body with one or more dendrites and a single axon. Also called nerve cell. (American heritage Dictionary)

Are neurons and nerves the same thing?

A neuron (or neurone) is an individual cell of the nervous system. Neurons communicate with one another and other tissues through long processes that extend from their cell bodies. There are different names for these processes; some are called dendrites, others are called axons. Often it is fine to be vague and just call them fibers. Fibers of multiple neurons serving a similar function can come together and be wrapped up in a piece of connective tissue. These fibers and their surrounding connective tissue are called a nerve.


How do nerve cells regulate?

nerve cells move due to the fluid blood in our body.As it is you know molecules or any other thing is free to move in fluids........................................Thanks that was anki


How are cytoplasm cells different from other cells?

There is no such thing as "cytoplasm cells".


What do human cells do?

Humans, like all multicellular organisms, have many different cells that do many different things. You have red blood cells to carry oxygen, white blood cells to fight off disease, muscle cells to move your body and organs, bone cells to support your weight, nerve cells to transmit messages throughout your body ... in short, there's just not one type of cells that "do" one thing.


How are the cells different from healthy cells and cells that have asthma?

There is no such thing as an asthmatic cell.

Do all cells have the same struction and function?

no because they are placed in different spots inside of your body, and if all of your cells did the same thing,your body would only have one function.

Is a nerve cell in a animal?

Yes, animals do have neve cells. Like any other living thing, nerve cells are contained. Even though some animals might have a nerve cell inspired by the letronophopea, it has its cord (connection) to the uroe methio. By the way some of these words you might not no...but we learnt them in class. Hope it helps! :)


Why are red blood cells and muscles cells so different?

one does one thing and the other does something different. obvious (i think)


How is the constuction of a living thing different from that of a non-living thing?

living things have cells and cellular organization
