Neuroglial Cells and Their Functions in Nervous Tissue Quiz

Neuroglial cells provide support and protection to neurons.

Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the central nervous system.

Astrocytes maintain the blood-brain barrier.

Microglia are primarily involved in immune defense in the CNS.

Ependymal cells regulate the composition of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Astrocytes are involved in the formation of the blood-brain barrier.

Oligodendrocytes are responsible for the formation of myelin sheath in the central nervous system.

Microglia are involved in the clearance of cellular debris and pathogens in the central nervous system.

Schwann cells are found in the peripheral nervous system and produce myelin around axons.

Astrocytes contribute to the formation and maintenance of the blood-spinal cord barrier.

Astrocytes play a crucial role in synaptic transmission modulation and plasticity.

Astrocytes are involved in the formation of scar tissue in the CNS following injury.

Astrocytes regulate the extracellular ion concentrations in the nervous tissue.

Schwann cells are associated with the formation of the myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system.

Astrocytes participate in the maintenance of synaptic connections.
