What is able to divide neurons or neuroglia?

Neuroglia


Are neuroglia able to divide?

Yes, They can go under Mitosis.


Are neuroglia or neuron likely to give rise to tumor why?

Neuroglia are more likely to give rise to tumors, as they have the capacity to divide and undergo abnormal growth. Neurons, on the other hand, are post-mitotic cells and do not typically give rise to tumors. Tumors arising from neuroglia are known as gliomas.


Are Neurons are mitotic and therefore are responsible for most brain neoplasms.?

False


Does Neuroglia transmit nerve impulses?

No, neuroglia do not transmit nerve impulses. Neuroglia are support cells of the nervous system that help to nourish, protect, and maintain the environment of neurons. Nerve impulses are transmitted by neurons.


Do neurons or neuroglia release neurotransmitters?

Neurons release neurotransmitters, not neuroglia. Neuroglia, also known as glial cells, primarily support and protect neurons in various ways, but they do not release neurotransmitters like neurons do.


What are the Difference of neurons and neuroglia cells?

Neurons are conducting cells in the nervous system and neuroglia do not conduct, but are helper cells to the neurons.

What are the cells in the nervous system?

neurons and neuroglia


Tumor that arises from a neuroglia is a?

Glioma


What is the difference between neurons and neuroglia?

Neurons conduct electrical impulses in the brain. Neuroglia are cells that support the neurons. These cells undergo mitosis where neurons do not. Brain tumors are formed from neuroglia cells because they mitosis.
