synapse by ____ or ____
astrocyte - correct answer ✔✔What is closely opposed to the synapse, wraps blood vessels, and
is part of the BBB?
microglia - correct answer ✔✔What is the neuronal macrophage?
,Oligodendrocytes (CNS) and Schwann cells (PNS) - correct answer ✔✔What produces myelin?
astrocytes - correct answer ✔✔_____ are the most numerous cell type within the central
nervous system (CNS) and perform a variety of tasks, from axon guidance and synaptic support,
to the control of the blood brain barrier and blood flow
satellite cells - correct answer ✔✔____ play an important role in modulating the PNS following
injury and inflammation. These resemble the astrocytes of the CNS and assist in regulating the
external chemical environment.
blood-brain barrier (BBB) - correct answer ✔✔The ____ is a highly selective semipermeable
border of endothelial cells that prevents solutes in the circulating blood from non-selectively
crossing into the extracellular fluid of the central nervous system where neurons reside.
