What is the PNS glial cell that surrounds neuron cell bodies in ganglia?

In this case it is satellite cell. In the PNS system there are only two types of cells which are in the neural structures outside the CNS, Schwann Cells and Satellite cells. The Satellite cells surround neuron cell bodies in ganglia.

Where is the nucleus located in the neuron?
For spinal nerves transmitting general somatic efferent motor information, the answer is the ventral horn.Autonomic nerves have the cell bodies their motor neurons, general visceral efferent, located within ganglia within the periphery.
What part of the neuron performs cleanup tasks and insulates one neuron from another?
Axon
What is the name of the cells that support the transmitting cells of neuron?
neuroglia (glial cells) - approx 9 glia per 1 neuron
Is glial cell are responsible for nourishing and helping to repair neurons?
Yes. The certain glial cells (schwann cells in PNS and oligodendrocyte in the CNS) insulates the neuron's by producing myelin which covers the axon to speed up the action potential.
Name the PNS glial cell that surrounds dorsal root ganglion neurons?
satellite cell.
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 are brains made of?
The primary cell in the brain is the neuron. There are also many supporting cells, such as astrocytes, glial cells and the like.
Which type of nerve cell resembles a star?
You are probably talking about an astrocyte. An astrocyte is a glial cell that supports neurons, and not actually a neuron itself.
What is the cell that make up the brainspinalcordand nerves?
The cell that makes up the brain and spinal cord is mainly the neuron (nerve cell). There are also other types of cells called glial cells, and within glial cells, there are astro glia, oligodendroglia and micro glia.
What nervous system cells do not transmit impulses?
Glial cells as they are responsible for providing support to the neuron, nourishing, and making sure homeostasis is maintained, thus they do not transmit impulses.
Does a neuron have a coating?
Sometimes, depending on the type and function of the neuron, and when it does, it will be on the AXON of the neuron, not the whole neuron. The AXONS of grey matter in the brain do NOT have a coating, but white matter in the brain DOES, as do longer axons in the peripheral nervous system. The Myelin Sheath which coats white matter in the brain is made up of glial cells called oligodendrocytes, and the myelin sheath around peripheral nerve cells are called Schwann cells.
Are neuroglia or neuron likely to give rise to tumor why?
Neuroglia are non conductive and provide a support system for the neurons. They are not likely to spread, but doctors still treat them as malignant and treat the symptoms.
