What do red blood cells do in the brain?

Red blood cells don't get as far as the brain itself; they do enter the head, and provide oxygen to the cerebro-spinal fluid in which the brain bathes. What you should understand about red blood cells and the brain is that the brain is an unusually delicate organ, in which a red blood cell can actually get in the way of the normal function of the brain, by intruding into a nerve synapse. That is why the brain does not use blood directly, as other organs do.


What are other liquids circulating in your body?

Other liquids circulating in the body include interstitial fluid, which surrounds cells and tissues; lymph, which flows in the lymphatic system and helps transport immune cells; and cerebrospinal fluid, which surrounds the brain and spinal cord providing protection and nutrients.


Is correction fluid a solution or suspension?

Correction fluid is considered a suspension. In this case, the solid pigments and other components are suspended in a liquid solvent, which allows the fluid to be applied smoothly to paper. Over time, the solid particles may settle, but they can be redistributed when the fluid is shaken before use.


What protects the CNS from harmful substances and pathogens by preventing passage of these substances from blood into the interstitial fluid of brain tissue?

The blood-brain barrier is a protective mechanism that regulates the passage of substances from the blood into the interstitial fluid of the brain tissue. It consists of specialized endothelial cells that line the capillaries in the brain, tight junctions between these cells, and other supporting cells like astrocytes. This barrier helps protect the central nervous system (CNS) from harmful substances and pathogens.


Is the brain made out of anything besides nervous tissue?

You have the the other type of cells in the brain. You have the insulating cells in your brain, so that short circuits should not take place in your brain. You have also the blood vessels in your brain.

Are red blood cells found in cerebrospinal fluid?

What is the function of astrocyte?

They are insulating cells that cover the neurons. Other wise there will be short circuits in your brain.

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 part of the brain interprets messages from other parts of the body?

the brain cells


Does ink kill brain cells?

Ink does not directly kill brain cells. However, the metals and toxins in ink can kill brain and other cells and is not good for the body or your health as a whole.


Can brain cells kill each other?

Assuming you mean "Nerve cells" when you say "brain cells", no. These cells are for sending and receiving messages and are not equipped with defence mechanisms.


How does a the brain cells structure help it to function?

The cell has many branches that enable it to communicate with other cells in the brain easily.


Who first invented correction fluid?

Bette Nesmith Graham, a typist from Texas, is credited with inventing correction fluid in the 1950s. She created it by mixing paint and other ingredients in her kitchen and named it "Mistake Out." This invention eventually became the popular product known as Liquid Paper.
