There are 6 different types CNS: astrocytes, microglia, ependymal, and oligodendrocytes, PNS: satellite cells, and schwann cells
What else can I help you with?
What types of neuroglia are found in the PNS?
satellite cells and schwann cells
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 is able to divide neurons or neuroglia?
Neuroglia
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.
Are neurons and neuroglia found in connective tissue?
No, there are four types of tissue; muscular, epithelial, connective and nervous tissue. Neurons are categorised in the nervous tissue.
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.
Is phagocytosis a function of neuroglia?
yes
What is the type of neuroglia that is phagocytic?
microglia
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.
