Answer:
B) astrocytes
Explanation:
Cells other than neurons that play an important role in the normal functioning of nervous system are called Neuroglia or glial cells.
Satellite cells, astrocytes, schwann cells and oligodendrocytes are all examples of glial cells.
⇒Satellite cells provide protection and nutrition to cells in peripheral nervous system ( peripheral nerves and ganglia).
⇒<em><u>Astrocytes</u></em> play an important role in central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). They provide protection to neurons, scavenge ions, form the blood-brain barrier and also maintain extracellular environment suitable for neuronal functioning.
⇒Schwann cells are found in the peripheral nervous system and myelinate the axons of neurons.
⇒Oligodendrocytes are found in central nervous system and produce myelin sheath which myelinates (insulates) axons of neurons. Their function is similar to schwann cells but in the central nervous system.
From the above discussion it is clear that the answer is B) Astrocytes as these maintain a suitable chemical environment for the neurons.
Answer: 10. A. capital. 9. B. 8. C.
Explanation:
A molecule or compound is made when two or more atoms form a chemical bond, linking them together. The two types of bonds are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. The distinction between them has to do with how equally the atoms participating in the bond share their electrons. hope this helps.
Answer: Dendrites
Explanation: Dendrites are branched extensions of a nerve cell that sends the electrochemical stimulation/information received from other nerve cells to the cell body of the neuron from which the dendrites emanate. In other words, they are part of the neuron that receive stimulation for the cell to become active.
