What else can I help you with?
What has neurons and glial cells?
The nervous system has both. The active cells which carry information are the neurons while the glial cells are the support cells.
What is the term for special cells of the nervous system that serve the function of special support and protection?
The term for these cells is glial cells. Glial cells provide support and protection to neurons in the nervous system by surrounding and insulating them, maintaining their environment, and aiding in their proper functioning.
What glial cells in the central nervous system derive from circulating monocytes?
Microglia are the glial cells in the central nervous system that derive from circulating monocytes. These cells act as the main immune cells in the brain and contribute to inflammatory responses and maintenance of brain homeostasis.
What are specialized cells that do all the support activities for the nervous system?
Neuroglia are the supporting cells of the NS. There are four types in the central nervous system (CNS) and two types in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). They all have functions that contribute to the overall health of neuron cells.
What the nervous tissues cells secrete collagen?
Nervous tissue primarily consists of neurons and glial cells, which do not secrete collagen themselves. However, certain glial cells, like astrocytes, can produce extracellular matrix components, including collagen, to support neuronal function and maintain the integrity of the nervous system. Collagen plays a critical role in providing structural support and facilitating communication between cells in the nervous system. Thus, while neurons do not secrete collagen, some glial cells contribute to its presence in nervous tissue.
Schwann cells are a type of ___ of the peripheral nervous system?
glial cells
What has neurons and glial cells?
The nervous system has both. The active cells which carry information are the neurons while the glial cells are the support cells.
What forms myelin sheath?
The glial cells: oligodendrocytes for central nervous system and schwann cells for peripheral nervous system.
Nervous tissue consists mainly of neurons and collagen fibers?
Actually, nervous tissue is composed of neurons, which are responsible for transmitting electrical signals, as well as glial cells that support and protect neurons. Collagen fibers are mainly found in connective tissue, not nervous tissue.
The cells involved in most nervous system tumors are called?
The cells involved in most nervous system tumors are called neuroglia (glial cells). These cells provide support and protection for neurons in the nervous system. In tumors, abnormal growth of neuroglial cells can lead to the formation of brain tumors such as gliomas.
The largest and most numerous of the glial cells in the central nervous system are the?
Astrocytes
Where in the body would you find a glial cell?
Glial cells are primarily found in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and in the peripheral nervous system. They play a crucial role in supporting and protecting neurons.
What glial cells in the central nervous system derive from circulating monocytes?
Microglia are the glial cells in the central nervous system that derive from circulating monocytes. These cells act as the main immune cells in the brain and contribute to inflammatory responses and maintenance of brain homeostasis.

What cell accounts roughly half of the volume of the nervous system?
Neuroglia
Which of these is not a type of epithelial cell Glial Squamous Columnar or Cuboidal?
Glial cells are not a type of epithelial cell. Glial cells are a type of support cell in the nervous system, while squamous, columnar, and cuboidal cells are types of epithelial cells that line surfaces and cavities in the body.
