What are the two main type of cells in the nervous system?
Neurons and glia cells
What tissue is connected and supported by glia cells?
Nerve cells (neurons) of the CNS (i.e. the brain).
Cells located between neurons in the CNS?
The two types of cells in the CNS are neurons and glia. There are many types of glia, including oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and microglia, each with different functions. In general, glia support neuronal function.
What tissue has neurons and glia?
Nervous tissue
What are the two main cells of the brain?
Generally, these would be the neurons and the supportive cells. Supportive cells, however, comprise several different kinds of cells. These include oligodendrocytes, glial cells, schwann cells, astrocytes, etc.
What cells Remove dead neurons and waste products from the nervous systme nourish and insulate neurons and direct their growth?
Glia cells, specifically microglia and astrocytes, remove dead neurons and waste products from the nervous system. Astrocytes also provide nourishment to neurons and insulate them. Additionally, oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells guide the growth of neurons by forming myelin sheaths around axons.
What are the basic functioning units of the nervous system?
Neurons and glia
What is functional difference between neurons and glial?
Neurons are the message senders and receivers (when you think of brain cells) and the glial cells are important for support; they maintain ions levels and provide structural support for neurons.
What cells provide nourishment and protection for the neurons?
Neuroglial cells, also known as glial cells, provide nourishment and protection for neurons. They support neurons by regulating their environment, insulating them, and assisting with their functions. Astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia are examples of neuroglial cells that play important roles in maintaining the health and function of neurons.
Is there any special cells in the brain?
The brain is made up of two basic kinds of cells: neurons and glial cells. The human brain has about 100 billion neurons, according to some estimates (recent scientific experiments are now saying there may be fewer than that); the neurons are said to be assisted by trillions of glia, although again, recent scientific evidence indicates there may be fewer than once thought. But it remains a fact that neurons and glia depend on each other so that the brain will function properly. Neurons are the cells that relay messages about thinking, feeling, and doing. Glial cells perform a variety of brain functions: some make sure that electrical signals speed along the axon (a thin fiber with numerous branches that lead to distant parts of the body), others protect the neurons by defending against bacteria and viruses. Thus, while neurons often are better known, without the glia, the neurons would not work properly.
What are oligodendrocyte dominant organelles?
they are two types of glia cells. oligodendrocytes are responsible for the myelination of neurons in the central nervous system. swan cells perform the same function but in the peripheral nervous system.
What hold neurons together?
Glia. Its a glue that connects one neuron to another.
