|---|---|
| What are the 3 kinds of neuroglia in the CNS? | Astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia. |
| What allows the complex cell shapes of astrocytes? | GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein). |
| Which type of astrocyte process contains glutamate transporters? | Processes that make contact with the synaptic cleft. Astrocytes remove glutamate from the synaptic cleft via glutamate transporters and support neuronal energy metabolism. |
| Oligodendrocytes | Small glial cells that insulate axons in the CNS. |
| Microglia | Serve as macrophages in the CNS. |
| What are the layers of connective tissue that surround axons of a peripheral nerve (from outermost to innermost)? | Epineurium encloses the entire nerve. Perineurium surrounds axonal bundles and nerve fascicles. Endoneurium surrounds each axon. |
| What are the three meninges between the cranium and the brain (outer-most to innermost)? | Meninges are connective tissue coverings. Dura mater is made of dense collagen. Arachnoid mater is composed of mesothelial cells and collagen fibers. Pia mater is a thin membrane of cells and collagen fibers - it follows the surface of the brain along folds. |
| What is the space between the pia and the arachnoid mater? | Subarachnoid space. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flows into it from the brain ventricles. |
| Glia limitans | The structure formed by the foot processes that cover the entire surface of the CNS. |
What is the functional similarities and differences between astrocyte foot processes on blood vessels and elsewhere?
