Answer: Option (A)

Explanation: Isostacy is considered to be the state of gravitational balance between the lithospheric crust and the rocks of asthenosphere.

           When materials are added to the crust, the weight increases and  the block goes down. Whereas the materials when gets erode, weight of the block decreases and subsequently rises up.

  This state of balancing the crustal rocks flowing over the rocks of asthenosphere layer is known as the Isostacy.

What type of glial cell acts locally to maintain normal electrolyte composition of the cerebrospinal fluid?
nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Astrocytes

Explanation:

Astrocytes are specialized glial cells found in the brain and spinal cord, they are responsible for maintaining the electrolytic composition of the cerebrospinal fluid, induce the formation of the blood-brain barrier and act as a support and guide for neurons during migration. They keep the ionic composition of the extracellular fluid of the central nervous system through the water channels, Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) and K channels, located in the pedicle processes of the astrocytes in the perivascular space, these cells exchange K and water in said perivascular medium away from the neurons. Astrocytes selectively edematize during hypotonic stress, while neurons do not.
