Answer:

Glial cells called 'Glai' or 'neuroglia'

'Oligodendrocytes' create the myelin that envelope axons.

Explanation:

Glial cells are non neuronal cells in the CNS (central nervous system) i.e, the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (nerves and ganglia outside the CNS) that do not produce electrical impulse.

They maintain homeostasis, form myelin sheath, surrounds and hold neurons, supply nutrients and oxygen to neurons, fight and destroy pathogen, remove dead neurons, play an important role in neurotransmission and synaptic connections.

In the CNS, Glial cells include the Oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells and microglia while in the peripheral nervous system, the Glial cells are schwann cells and satellites cells.

Oligodendrocytes main function to the Glial cells is to provide support and insulation to the axons of CNS. This is done by creating the myelin sheath. In the peripheral nervous system, schwann cells produce the myelin sheath that support the axons.

Astrocytes, collectively known as astroglia provides biochemical support for endothelial cells that make up the blood- brain barrier, nutrient to nervous tissues and play vital role in repair and scarring act of the CNS as a result of traumatic injury.

Microglia are neuroglia cells that act as the first and active immune defense in brain and spinal cord. They are vital cells in brain maintenance. They regularly scavenge the CNS for plagues, damages and removal of effected or dead neurons

Answer: Glial cells called ASTROCYTES help maintain the blood-brain barrier, whereas SCHWANN CELLS create the myelin that envelopes axons

Explanation: Glial cells are specialized cell that are found in both central and peripheral nervous systems, that surrounds the neurones, providing them with support and insulation. There are different types of Glial cells these includes:

- Astrocytes: they maintain the blood brain barrier.

- Schwann cells: create the myelin that envelopes axons of the peripheral nervous system neurones.

- satellite cells: These cells help regulate the external chemical environment of neurones.

- Microglia: they clean up cellular debris through phagocytosis.

- Oligodendrocytes: create the myelin that envelopes axons of the central nervous system

A patient comes to you with a "PUS" sample and asks you to isolate &amp; identify the Staphylococcus aureus form this sample the
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer: Staphylococcus aureus can be isolated from the pus sample through the following steps:

--> Step 1: Describe the appearance of the specimen

--> Step 2: Examine the specimen microscopically

--> Step 3: Culture and report your observations.

--> Step 4: Biochemical testing

Explanation: Staphylococcus aureus are gram positive cocci bacteria that can be isolated from pus samples.Pus samples, which may come from wounds, abscess, burns or sinuses, are the type of samples which do not contain microorganisms and should not contain contaminants providing an aseptic collection technique and sterile container are used.

Staphylococcus aureus can be isolated from the pus sample through the following steps:

--> Step 1: White, yellow, brown, red, or black granules of varying size, shape, and consistency may be found in pus draining from

sinuses while describing the appearance of the pus sample.

--> Step 2: Here the specimen is examined microscopically after being stained with a staining technique called Gram staining. This step is done before culture to know the type of medium to use after gram positive cocci is microscopically seen.

--> Step 3: there are different cultures media that can be used to inoculate and culture a pus specimen. Since we are to isolate staphylococcus aureus, a selective and differential media known as Mannitol salt agar (MSA) is used. The presence of yellow colonies with yellow zone after incubation at 37°C indicate the presence of Staphylococcus aureus or species. There for the last confirmation test known as biochemical test is done.

--> Biochemical test: This is a chemical test that is done to identify a particular bacteria. For staphylococcus aureus, COAGULASE test is used to identify staphylococcus aureus which produces COAGULASE enzyme. A positive COAGULASE test is an indication of the presence of staphylococcus aureus as the bacterium isolate of the specimen.
