The most abundant neuroglia in the CNS?
The most abundant neuroglia in the central nervous system is the astrocyte. Astrocytes provide structural support to neurons, help regulate the extracellular environment, and play a role in the blood-brain barrier function. They also contribute to the repair and scarring processes in the brain and spinal cord after injury.
The production and release of lactate to provide energy to the neurons is a function of the?
astrocytes in the brain. Astrocytes take up glucose and convert it to lactate, which is then released and used as an energy source by neurons. This process is known as the astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle.
What neuroglial cell has phagocytes?
Microglia function as phagocytes.
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.
What are found in the CNS and act as the glue that binds axons and blood vessels to each other?
Astrocytes (glial cells hence the glue)
What is the primary function of t4?
waht is a primary function in computer?
What is the primary function of the primary system?
The primary function of the reproductive system is to generate new species. This function is commonly referred to as procreation.
What is the primary function of the stomach?
The primary function of the stomach is to digest food.
What is the primary function of a landfil?
The primary function of a landfill is to decompose trash
What is the primary function of neurons in the kidney?
what is the primary function of nipple runs in the kidney
What are the four types of glial cells?
astrocytes, microglia, ependymal, and oligodendrocytes.
Neuroglia that control the chemical environment around the neurons by buffering potassium and recapturing neurotransmitters are called what?
These neuroglia are called astrocytes. They play a vital role in maintaining the proper chemical balance in the extracellular space around neurons by regulating potassium levels and recycling neurotransmitters.
