Match the glia cell types with their function(s): Phagocytizes degenerating cells undergoing programmed cell death Activated in pathological states 1. Astrocytes Provides scaffolding for migrating neurons 2. Oligodendrocytes Removes toxins and neurotransmitters from the extracellular space 3. Schwann cells 4. Microglia Myelinates axons in the central nervous system Myelinates axons in the peripheral nervous system

8. Match the neuroglia cell with the correct function. A. Astrocytes B. Microglia C. Ependymal D. Oligodendrocytes E. Schwann cells F. Satellite cells A. Cells that produce the myelin in the PNS. B. Cells that produce the myelin in the CNS. C. Phagocytes that dispose of debris such as dead brain cells and bacteria. D. Anchors and braces neurons with cellular projections. E. Cells have cilia that help circulate the cerebrospinal fluid. F. Cells help cushion and protect neurons in the PNS. G. Cells serve as a medium for diffusion between capillaries and neurons. H. Cells line cavities of the brain and spinal cord.
