Question

name the other cells present in the nervous system along with the neurones and mention their function.

Answer 1

Answer:

There are many other associated cells in the Nervous System besides neurons.

These cells are called GLIAL CELLS.

There are varieties of glial cells such as

1. Astrocytes

2. Microglial cells

3. Ependymal cells

4. Satellite cells

5. Oligodendrocytes

The major functions of these cells are as follows:

1. Astrocytes : They have foot-plate which constitutes the blood brain barrier.

2. Microglial cells : These are the macrophages of the CNS.

3. Ependymal cells: They line the central canal in the brain

4. They proliferate to repair injuries to the neurons.

5. Oligodendrocytes form the myelin sheath of neurons in CNS.

BECAUSE OF THESE FUNCTIONS, THESE GLIAL CELLS ARE ALSO CALLED

" HOUSE - KEEPING CELLS " OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM.

Answer 2

AnsweR

In humans, control and coordination occurs through the nervous system and hormonal system called the endocrine system.

The five senses of our body, eye, ear, nose, tongue and skin are called receptors.

The reason for this is that they get information from the environment around us.

Therefore, the receptor is a group of cells in the sense organ that is particularly sensitive to light, sound, smell, taste, heat, etc.

Glia is the other cells present in the nervous system along with the neurones.
