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

In developed countries which of the following is a positive effect of agricultural changes in the past century?
ankoles [38]

In developed countries , amount of food produced being increased is a positive effect of agricultural changes in the past century.

Agricultural changes in developed countries were set up such as application of fertilizers etc so as to achieve a maximum yield as the increasing population all over the world means increase in food production to cater for individuals and to prevent starvation and death.

Agricultural changes were also done to ensure goods produced have a very high quality.

The remaining options such as Desertification, Clearing of rainforests and contamination can be referred to as part of the negative effect of agricultural changes in the past century.

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

They do not belong to the same population
