What types of glial cells line the central cavities of the brain and spinal cord where they help to circulate the cerebrospinal fluid?
ependymal cells
Are nerve cells are also called neurotics?
A nerve cell cannot also be called a neuroglial cell. A neuroglial cell is a cell that has a primary function of supporting neurons.
What cells provide nourishment and protection for the neurons?
Neuroglial cells support and protect the neurons in the central nervous system.
What is the function of ependymal cells?
responsible for the lining of ventricular cavities (of brain). Other than the above-mentioned function, they also line the central canal of spinal cord. It is involved in the production of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Are red blood cells found in cerebrospinal fluid?
Normally there are no red blood cells in cerebrospinal fluid, but some kinds of injuries can cause bleeding into the cerebrospinal fluid in which case there will be red blood cells.
What types of glial cells line the central cavities of the brain and spinal cord where they help to circulate the cerebrospinal fluid?
ependymal cells
Where is the cerebrospinal fluid produce?
Cerebrospinal fluid is produced by modified epithelial cells in the thin membrane that lines the ventricular system of the brain and the spinal cord. These modified epithelial cells are named the ependyma. Each of the cerebral ventricles has an associated choroid plexus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system) which produce and secrete cerebrospinal fluid. The cerebral ventricles are interconnected spaces within the brain that permit the fluid to circulate in a specific manner. (see http:/www.answers.com/topic/cerebrospinal-fluid?cat=health for an excellent diagram).
What neuroglial cell is located in the peripheral nervous system?
Schwann cells and satellite cells are neuroglial cells located in the PNS
Is an ependymal cell ciliated?
"Ependymal cells"form a single layer of epithelial cells that line the CSF-filled ventricles (in the brain) and the central canal (of spinal cord). They are ciliated simple cuboidal epithelium.
Is a oligodendrocye a neuroglial cell is a phagocyte?
Oligodendrocytes - specialized neuroglial cells that assist in production of the myelin sheath.
What type of cells is the brain made up of?
neurons or neuroglial cells
Are nerve cells are also called neurotics?
A nerve cell cannot also be called a neuroglial cell. A neuroglial cell is a cell that has a primary function of supporting neurons.
What cells provide nourishment and protection for the neurons?
Neuroglial cells support and protect the neurons in the central nervous system.
Neuroglial cells that are star-shaped are called?
Astrocytes
What is the function of ependymal cells?
responsible for the lining of ventricular cavities (of brain). Other than the above-mentioned function, they also line the central canal of spinal cord. It is involved in the production of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
What muscle contains neurons and neuroglial cells?
nervous tissue
What type of neuroglial cells provide support and nutrition to sensory ganglia in the PNS?
satellite cells
