Two kinds of neuroglia that insulate axons and dendrites are:
a. Schwann cells and satellite cells
b. microglia and oligodendrites
c. microglia and Schwann cells
d. oligodendrites and Schwann cells

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is option D- oligodendrites and Schwann cells.

Explanation:

Neuroglia or glial cells are the cells in the nervous system which support, protect and maintain the neurons.  These neuroglia cells protect the neurons as they insulate the axons and dendrite by forming a sheath around the neurons called the 'myelin sheath".

Two different types of glial cells form this myelin sheath in CNS and PNS: Schwann cells in PNS while oligodendrocytes in CNS.  These myelin sheaths provide insulation as they are formed by the spiral wrapping of the plasma membrane which is made up of hydrophobic molecule.

Thus, option D- oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells are the correct answer.

d. oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells

Further explanation

Oligodendrocytes can be said to have a function similar to Schwann cells that can be found in the peripheral nervous system.

Neuroglia are the cells most commonly found in the nervous system. These cells do not play a direct role in information processing and transmission and function to support the needs of neuron cells.

Microglia are a type of glial cell that is part of the immune system for the central nervous system. Microglia are small cells that act as phagocytes, cleaning components that can threaten the nervous system.

Oligodendrocytes are cells that play a role in forming the myelin sheath for the central nervous system. These oligodendrocytes can be said to have a function similar to Schwann cells found in the peripheral nervous system.

Astrocytes

"Astrocytes" comes from two words "Astro" which means stars and "sit" which means cell. As the name implies, erythrocytes are glia cells that have a star-like shape. Astrocytes are the most numerous cells in the central nervous system. This cell has several important functions, namely:

  • Bringing together neurons
  • Repair of brain injury
  • Play a role in neurotransmitter activity

There are two types of astrocytes

  • Protoplasmic astrocytes, more commonly found in the substance grise. These cells have bulges from the cytoplasm that spread from the entire cell surface. Sometimes this cytoplasmic expansion ends in small blood vessels to form "perivascular feet".
  • Astrocyte Fibrosa, commonly found in the substance of alba. The difference with protoplasmic astrocytes can be seen from the cytoplasmic protrusion that is longer and straighter. Inside the bulge can also be found a picture of the filament.

Ependymal Cell

Ependymal cells line the interior of the fluid-filled cavity in the CNS. Ependymal cells are cells that have cilia, the movement of these cilia play a role in flowing cerebrospinal fluid throughout the ventricles of the brain.
