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 question is stated incorrectly. The correct question is as follows;
The site of intercellular communication between a neuron and another cell is the.
Answer:
Synapse.
Explanation:
Neurons have dendrites, cell body and axons. Millions of neurons are present in the nervous system. Different types of neuron are sensory neuron, motor neuron and interneuron.
Synapse may be defined as the gap between the two consecutive neurons. The junction between the two neurons that helps in the intercellular communication. The neurotransmitters are diffused directly and transmit information through these synapse.
Thus, the correct answer is synapse.
Answer:
<h3><u>
Protons & Nucleons</u> are the 2 subatomic particles make up the nucleus of an atom.</h3>
Explanation:
Most organisms are Diploid, and as a result, they will have received 2 copies of the chromosomes, or sets of chromosomes, from both their parents. This they will have 2 sets of Genes that will perform almost exact same process, except with different phenotypes.
These chromosomes need to be homologous, in order for new alleles and other genetic combinations to be made.
