Nervous System

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
