Read each question carefully and provide your best answer. Some questions may require critical thinking and recall of information about neuroglial cells.
1. Which type of neuroglial cell is responsible for forming the myelin sheath around axons in the Central Nervous System (CNS)?
Schwann cells
Astrocytes
Oligodendrocytes
Microglia
2. What is the primary function of microglia in the nervous system?
Provide structural support
Phagocytosis of debris and pathogens
Regulate blood-brain barrier
Produce cerebrospinal fluid
1. Astrocytes are involved in regulating the chemical environment around neurons.
True
False
2. Ependymal cells are responsible for producing the myelin sheath in the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).
True
False
1. cells are star-shaped neuroglial cells that play a crucial role in the blood-brain barrier.
2. The myelin sheath in the PNS is formed by cells.
3. cells line the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord, producing cerebrospinal fluid.
1. Describe two distinct functions of astrocytes in the central nervous system.
2. Compare and contrast the roles of oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells in myelination.
Match each neuroglial cell type with its primary function.
1. Astrocytes
a. Phagocytosis
2. Microglia
b. Myelination in CNS
3. Oligodendrocytes
c. Regulation of chemical environment
4. Ependymal cells
d. Production of CSF
