Which of the following types of glial cells is appropriately matched with its function? Choose all correct answers. Group of answer choices Astrocytes: form the blood brain barrier, most numerous glia in the CNS Oligodendrocytes: myelinate axons in the CNS Schwann cells: myelinate dendrites in the CNS Microglia: creates cerebrospinal fluid
Added by Linda L.
Step 1
- Astrocytes: They are star-shaped glial cells that play a crucial role in forming the blood-brain barrier and are indeed the most numerous glia in the central nervous system (CNS). - Oligodendrocytes: These cells are responsible for myelinating axons in the CNS, Show more…
