<h2>CNS  </h2>

Explanation:

An example of a myelin producing cell in the CNS is oligodendrocyte

  • The major function of oligodendrocytes is the formation of myelin
  • Myelin acts as an insulator of axonal segments and is a prerequisite for the high velocity of nerve conduction
  • Larger axons form thicker myelin
  • During development, oligodendrocytes arise from precursors located in the sub-ventricular zone such as the sub-ventricular zone of the lateral ventricles for the cerebrum or the fourth ventricle for the cerebellum
  • In the spinal cord, oligodendrocytes originate from the ventral regions of the neural tube and in the optic nerve they migrate into the nerve from the third ventricle
  • It is the oligodendrocyte precursor cells which migrate to their destination where they then differentiate into the more mature oligodendrocytes
  • The proliferation of the oligodendrocyte progenitor cells is controlled by a number of growth factors released predominantly from neurons but also from astrocytes such as platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) or fibroblast growth factor (FGF)

Describe the movement of “air” into and out of the respiratory system. Be sure to include the following structures (larynx, trac
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

The respiratory system enables oxygen to be taken into the body and it ensures the movement of carbon dioxide outside the body.

When we breathe in, our diaphragm moves downwards. Air enters the lungs through the larynx where it is filtered. from there it travels down the trachea, to the bronchi and then to the bronchioles. Alveoli are the air sacs where the exchange of gases takes place between the lungs and the blood. The alveoli pass oxygen into the blood and the blood passes carbon dioxide to the lungs. As we exhale, the diaphragm rises upwards causing the air to flow from the trachea to the larynx and exhalation from the mouth.
