Neuroglia Study guides, Class notes & Summaries

erve cells - involved in the generation and interpretation of electrical signals neuroglia - support neuronal cell activity dendrites - collect info cell body - process info axon - propagate info to synapses synapses - transmit info bioelectricity - -resting membrane potential -action potential ~ALL CELLS negative on the inside compared to the outside resting membrane potential - -baseline electrical condition of all cells -depends on two parameters

What are the four fundamental tissues ? (ANS- Epithelial,connective,muscle,nervous Epithelial Tissue ? (ANS- Cover, line, and protect the body and its internal organs. Connective tissue ? (ANS- Is the framework of the body which provides support and structure for the organs. Nerve Tissue ? (ANS- Composed of neurons and connective tissue cells (Neuroglia). Muscle Tissues ? (ANS- Have the ability to contract or shorten Function of the nucleus ? (ANS- Carries DNA Funct...
