What is a type of neuroglia that acts as phagocytes for the cns?
At times only called Glial cells, the neuroglial cells are non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for the brain's neurons.
What is the term for special cells of the nervous system that serve the function of special support and protection?
neuroglia
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 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 the name of the cells that support the transmitting cells of neuron?
neuroglia (glial cells) - approx 9 glia per 1 neuron
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.
What are accessory cells within nervous tissue that provide support to the neurons?
Glial cells, sometimes called neuroglia or simply glia are non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for the brain's neurons.
What is the function of a neuroglia?
Neuroglia are helper cells in the nervous system. They produce products that help support and protect the neurons so they can do their work transmitting impulses, also called action potentials.
Name the two types of nervous tissue?
Neurons and neuroglia the neuron known as the functional unit is the actual nerve cell. It transmits the impulses of the nervous system.. A neuron consists of three basic parts: a cell body, one axon, and one or more dendrites..
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.
What cells provide nourishment and protection for the neurons?
Neuroglial cells support and protect the neurons in the central nervous system.
What supports the cell and protects it?
The cell wall provides support and protection for a plant cell.
What are two major types of cells that form nervous tissue?
First is the neuroglia, function is to support and protect the cells of the nervous system. Second is neurons, which are responsible for conducting nerve impulses from one part of the body to another.
What is a type of neuroglia that acts as phagocytes for the cns?
At times only called Glial cells, the neuroglial cells are non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for the brain's neurons.
What the support cell in central nervous system?
These are called neuroglia.
The glue cells that perform the function of support and protection are?
neuroglia cells
What is the general name for all support cells within the CNS?
Neuroglia
