What are the cells of the brain?
The brain is composed of two types of cells, neurons and glial cells.
What kind of cells become a brain?
The brain is composed of two types of cells, nerve cells and glial cells.
What is the cells that support and nourish neurons called?
Glial Cells
What cells provide nourishment and protection for the neurons?
Neuroglial cells support and protect the neurons in the central nervous system.
Why are glial cells referred to as the forgotten brain cells?
Glial cells do not conduct electrical impulses (as opposed to neurons, which do). The glial cells surround neurons and etc
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 are the four types of glial cells?
astrocytes, microglia, ependymal, and oligodendrocytes.
Is it more common for brain tumors to arise from neurons or from glial cells?
Glial Cells
How many types of glial cells are found in the nervous system?
There is more than 1 million nerve cells in your body.
Is an ependymal cell a glial cell?
Yes. Glial cells are cells that "help and support" the neurons in various ways. Astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells (important for CSF) ect.. are all glial cells (search "glial cell" on wikipedia for more).
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 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.
