Neuroglia are helper cells in the nervous system. They produce products that help support and protect the neurons so they can do their work transmitting impulses, also called action potentials.


How many cells are in the brain?

What parts of the eye are involved with the inability to see. this is dealing with Blind spots?

The parts that are involved are the retina, brain cells called neurons, photo receptors, the optic nerves, and the iris. They function like a camera. How? Well the optic nerve head, neurons collected together passing as a whole through our photo receptors and it forms our optic nerve; they work as messengers to our brain. Once our eye sees light, the neurons transfers it to our brain as a picture. So when our blind spots kick in that means that there are no neurons passing to our photo receptors in that area, as in nothings being transmitted to our brain so there's no picture. Um... i hoped i was a good help to you XD
