Drag the labels onto the diagram to identify the various types of neuroglia in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Ependymal cells Satellite cells Schwann cells Oligodendrocytes Microglia Astrocytes Produce and circulate cerebrospinal fluid in the CNS Provide structural and nutritional support for CNS neurons, and recycle neurotransmitters Myelinate CNS axons; provide structural framework Conduct phagocytosis in the CNS Support neuron cell bodies in PNS ganglia Produce myelin sheath around PNS axons

Label the figure below with the following: dendrites, cell body, Nissl bodies, axon hillock, axon, myelin, telodendria, axon terminals Summary Table: Structural Classes of Neurons Summary Table: Functional Classes of Neurons
Neuroglia Oligodendrocytes Microglia Satellite cells Schwann cells Astrocytes Surround neuron cell bodies in ganglia; regulate O2, CO2, nutrient, and neurotransmitter levels around neurons in ganglia Surround all axons in PNS; responsible for myelination of peripheral axons; participate in the repair process after injury Myelinate CNS axons; provide a structural framework Maintain the blood-brain barrier; provide structural support; regulate ion, nutrient, and dissolved-gas concentrations; absorb and recycle neurotransmitters from scar tissue after injury Remove cell debris, wastes, and pathogens by phagocytosis Line ventricles (brain) and central canal (spinal cord); assist in producing, circulating, and monitoring cerebrospinal fluid Central Nervous System Ependymal cells Peripheral Nervous System
