Name the 5 Neuroglia Cells
Ependymocytes=CNS
Astrocytes-CNS
Oligodendrocytes=CNS
Microglial cells=CNS
Neurolemmocytes=PNS
Describe Ependymocytes.
epithelial cells thatt line the ventricular cavities of the CNS
Describe astrocytes.
small cell bodies with many longer cytoplasmic extensions
blood/brain
protects the brain
Describe oligodendrocytes.
few cytoplasmic extentions
wrap around the neurons
increase speed in signals
Describe Microglial.
found in gray and white matter
form the glial limiting membranes and function in phagocytic activities
eat waste
cleaners
Describe Neurolemmocytes.
located in PNS
form the neurilemma and myelin sheaths that surround the neurons in the PNS
increase speed of signal and nerve impulses
