Schwann cells are a type of ___ of the peripheral nervous system?
glial cells
What forms myelin sheath?
The glial cells: oligodendrocytes for central nervous system and schwann cells for peripheral nervous system.
What are specialized cells that do all the support activities for the nervous system?
Neuroglia are the supporting cells of the NS. There are four types in the central nervous system (CNS) and two types in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). They all have functions that contribute to the overall health of neuron cells.
What has neurons and glial cells?
The nervous system has both. The active cells which carry information are the neurons while the glial cells are the support cells.
The cells involved in most nervous system tumors are called?
Glial cells.
What cells provide nourishment and protection for the neurons?
Neuroglial cells support and protect the neurons in the central nervous system.
Examples of neuroglial cell?
Another name for neuroglial cell is glia cells, or supporting cells. Here are some examples. There are three types of glial cells in the mature central nervous system: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglial.The supporting cells of the Peripheral Nervous System are known as Schwann Cells.
Nervous tissue consists mainly of neurons and collagen fibers?
Nervous tissue consists mainly of nerve cells and glial cells. Glial cells are the most abundant cell types in the central nervous system.
What is a schwan cell?
It's a glial cell which is wrapped around the axonic body of a neuron of the peripheral nervous system.
What glial cells in the central nervous system derive from circulating monocytes?
Microglia
The largest and most numerous of the glial cells in the central nervous system are the?
Astrocytes
What cell accounts roughly half of the volume of the nervous system?
Neuroglia
