What else can I help you with?
What is the type of neuroglia that is phagocytic?
microglia
Does TaySachs disease have a dominant or a recessive trait?
recessive
What is able to divide neurons or neuroglia?
Neuroglia
What type of nerve cells act as a nerve glue as they support and protect the neuron?
The type of nerve cells are called neuroglia.
Is a neuron is a type of neuroglia?
No, a neuron is not a type of neuroglia. Neurons are the primary cells responsible for transmitting electrical signals in the nervous system, enabling communication between different parts of the body. Neuroglia, or glial cells, support and protect neurons, providing various functions such as insulation, nutrient supply, and maintenance of homeostasis. While both are essential for nervous system function, they serve distinct roles.
Does Neuroglia transmit nerve impulses?
No, neuroglia do not transmit nerve impulses. Neuroglia are support cells of the nervous system that help to nourish, protect, and maintain the environment of neurons. Nerve impulses are transmitted by neurons.
Do neurons or neuroglia release neurotransmitters?
Neurons release neurotransmitters, not neuroglia. Neuroglia, also known as glial cells, primarily support and protect neurons in various ways, but they do not release neurotransmitters like neurons do.
What are the Difference of neurons and neuroglia cells?
Neurons are conducting cells in the nervous system and neuroglia do not conduct, but are helper cells to the neurons.
Is phagocytosis a function of neuroglia?
yes
What is the largest and most abundant type of neuroglia?
The largest and most abundant type of neuroglia is the astrocyte. Astrocytes provide structural support to neurons, regulate the chemical environment around neurons, and contribute to the blood-brain barrier. They also play a crucial role in nutrient transfer and synaptic communication in the central nervous system.
Which type of neuraglia secretes myelin in the cns?
Oligodendrocytes are the type of neuroglia in the CNS that secrete myelin. They wrap around axons to provide insulation and facilitate faster nerve signal conduction.
Can you write a sentence using the word syndrome?
no one in my family has no type of syndrome
