Astrocytes - protect and provide nutrition to the neurons
Microglia - dispose of debris
Epedymal cells - line the central cavites of the brain and circulate cerebral spinal fluid
Oligodendrocytes - send out extensions to wrap around axons to insulate them for action potential propagation
What else can I help you with?
Where is the brain and spinal cord located?
central nervous system
What part of the brain is controlled by the nervous system?
brain, spinal cord, ganglia, nerves, sensory receptors, neuroglia, neurons.
Where are meninges found?
membranes that protect the brain and spinal cord
Where is oligodendroglia found?
brain and spinal cord
Why is the spinal cord and brain part of the CNS?
true or false do the Spinal nerve branches begin in the neck and continue to the midspine?
What is the CNS neuroglia that move CSF?
Ependymal cells are the CNS neuroglia that move cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) through the ventricles of the brain. They have cilia that help circulate CSF and are responsible for its production and circulation within the brain and spinal cord.
The brain is superior to the spinal cord?
The brain is superior to the spinal cord.
Why does your body produce cerebral spinal fluid and where is it found?
To cushion your brain and spinal cord and provide nutrients for the brain. It is found in the ventricular system, in the brain and spinal cord and the subarachnoid space between the pia mater and the arachnoid mater of the meninges.
Where is the central nervous system found?
In the brain and spinal cord
What the does brain stem connect the brain to?
The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord, so that the brain can send messages through the cord to the rest of the body. The functioning of the body is severely compromised if the spinal cord connections are severed.
What bone connects the spinal cord to the brain?
There is no joint between brain and spinal cord. The spinal cord is a mass of neurones that is situated in the backbone which feeds in to the brain via neurones.
Where is nervous tissue not found?
It is found in brain,nerves and spinal cord and is not found in tendons
