Microglia function as phagocytes.
A nerve cell cannot also be called a neuroglial cell. A neuroglial cell is a cell that has a primary function of supporting neurons.
Oligodendrocytes - specialized neuroglial cells that assist in production of the myelin sheath.
Schwann cells and satellite cells are neuroglial cells located in the PNS
Microglia
Some white blood cells are phagocytes. The word means "cell that eats".
macrophage
its the type of cell
No, these are not phagocytes. Phagocytes are a type of white blood cell in humans, such as neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells, that are responsible for engulfing and destroying pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protists. These foreign microorganisms are not phagocytes themselves.
The main cell types in nervous tissue are neurons and neuroglial cells. Neurons are responsible for transmitting electrical signals, while neuroglial cells support and protect neurons. Some examples of neuroglial cells include astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia.
Yes, neutrophils are a type of white blood cell that are phagocytes. Phagocytes are cells that engulf and digest pathogens, debris, or other unwanted materials in the body, helping to fight infection and maintain healthy tissues.
Gray matter in the brain and spinal cord can be defined as billions of neuroglial nerve cell bodies and unmyelinated axons. It is responsible for processing information, including sensory perception, decision-making, and motor control.
No, nerve cells are not called neurotics. Nerve cells are also known as neurons, and they are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals throughout the nervous system. Neurotics, on the other hand, is a term used in psychology to describe certain personality traits or disorders related to anxiety or obsessive behavior.
