<u>Microglia cells </u>are glial cells that respond to injury or disease by multiplying, and then engulfing cellular debris or even entire cells.
<h3>Functions of microglia</h3>
Microglia cells are the immune cells of the central nervous system and consequently play important roles in brain infections and inflammation. Recent in vivo imaging studies have revealed that in the resting healthy brain, microglia are highly dynamic, moving constantly to actively survey the brain parenchyma.
These active microglia can rapidly respond to pathological insults, becoming activated to induce a range of effects that may contribute to both pathogenesis, or to confer neuronal protection.
However, interactions between microglia and neurons are being recognized as important in shaping neural circuit activity under more normal, physiological conditions. During development and neurogenesis, microglia interactions with neurons help to shape the final patterns of neural circuits important for behaviour and with implications for diseases.

Answer:
The only lipids that are not packaged for transport because they ARE soluble in water are small fatty acids.
Explanation:
Small fatty acids, like acetate, have less than 6 carbons on their chains and are produced by bacterial fermentation. These lipids are absorbed by the intestinal mucosa unionized, and are a major nutrient source.
Small fatty acids play an important role in homeostasis as they have shown to modulate the development and function of leukocytes.
Whole grains, and also potatoes, pasta and cornmeal, are foods that are used by good bacteria to produce these lipids.
TRUE!!! because it lets the doctor know of the patients medical history
