What is the neuroepithelia?

Answer 1

Neuroepithelia refers to the body's neuroepithelial cells, which are "stem cells" belonging to the nervous system. Stem cells have the ability to replicate and differentiate into different specialized cells designed to carry out specific functions. Stem cells in the nervous system are able to differentiate into:

1. Neurons (transmitting signals around the body)

2. Astrocytes (support other cells, maintain ionic balance)

and

3. Other glial cells (cells that help to regulate internal bodily conditions, i.e: temperature)
