Flashcards
Types of Nerves & Neuroglia
Cards in this deck (17)
- 1—Bipolar (Sensory)
- 2—Pseudounipolar (Sensory)
- 3—Multipolar (Mostly motor)
- 4DendriteShort cell projection that receives impulses from the cell synapse
- 5AxonThread like process that carries impulse from cell body to cell synapse
- 6Nissl BodiesLarge granular body found in cell body of neurons
- 7Schwann Cells (Unmyelinated Neurons)Produce no myelin and wrap around axon for protection
- 8Schwann Cells (Myelinated neurons)Secrete the myelin sheath to protect, insulate and support
- 9—Oligodendrocyte (contains multiple projections to different axons)
- 10Role of OligodendrocyteSecrete myelin in the brain
- 11What differentiates neuroglia from neurons?They can divide
- 12—Astrocyte
- 13Roles of AstrocytesForm part of the blood-brain barrier
- 14—Microglia
- 15Role of microgliaMacrophages of the brain
- 16—Epindymal cell
- 17Role of Ependymal cellLine ventricles and secrete CSF
