Neurons are the message senders and receivers (when you think of brain cells) and the glial cells are important for support; they maintain ions levels and provide structural support for neurons.

What is the cells that support and nourish neurons called?
Glial 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.
What are the cell that forms nervous tissue called?
neurons (which trasmit impulses) and glial cells which provide support and nutrition for the neurons.
What term does not belong Astrocytes Neurons Oligodendrocytes or microglia?
Neurons, because all the rest are glial cells.
Which of the following types of glial cells monitor the health of neurons and can transform into a special type of macrophage to protect endangered neurons?
Microglia
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.
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.
Is it more common for brain tumors to arise from neurons or from glial cells?
Glial Cells
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 glial cells monitor the health of neurons?
Micrglia
What types of glial cells are the most abundant and versatile and aid in making exchanges between capillaries and neurons?
Astrocytes
What is a Glial cells?
Only 10% of the cells in your brain are neurons. The rest of the cells in your brain are glial cells. Glial cells are ‘housekeeping cells’ clearing up dead neurons and foreign cells as well as waste to ensure that the signalling capacity of neurons is maintained (Hayden 2001). They also ensure the neurons stay in place.The word glial derives from the Greek word for glue.
What are the cells of the brain?
The brain is composed of two types of cells, neurons and glial cells.
What are the cell that forms nervous tissue called?
neurons (which trasmit impulses) and glial cells which provide support and nutrition for the neurons.
What term does not belong Astrocytes Neurons Oligodendrocytes or microglia?
Neurons, because all the rest are glial cells.
How do you create myelenated neurons?
You don't, but glial cells, (oligodendrocytes in the CNS, and Schwann cells in the PNS), wrapped one after another around the axons of neurons with gaps between them called the nodes of Ravnier do create myelinated neurons.
