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

The ratio of the ages of father and son is 9:2 if the father is 45 year old, find the son
wolverine [178]
If the ratio is 9:2 that means that 45 would by ñ times 9. At the same time, ñ must also fit the ratio. Using this knowledge, you can divide 45 by 9, giving you 5, then multiply it by 2. This means that the child is 10 years old.

Bond [772]

The presence of vertebral column or notochord at any stage of life in any organism is the characteristic of vertebrate.

Explanation:

An animal is vertebrate if it fulfils the following criteria:

Presence of vertebral column or notochord.

Presence of endoskeleton or backbone.

The spinal cord runs above the vertebral column.

Humans embryo has notochord which becomes a vertebral column.

The alimentary canals end in the anus.

Mouth is present ta the anterior side of the vertebrate.

Have legs, fins or wings for movement.

Presence of a nervous system and sensory organs.

Presence of skin, lungs or gills.

Presence of a circulatory system.

Vertebrates include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.
