Nervous system part 2

What are Neurons?

• Neurons are types of muscles in the body.
• Neurons are found only in plants.
• Neurons are responsible for digestion.
• Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system responsible for transmitting information throughout the body.

Nervous system consists of which two type of cells?

• Stem cells and platelets
• Red blood cells and white blood cells
• Neurons and glial cells
• Muscles and bones

Types of Neuron based on function

• Olfactory neurons
• Visual neurons
• Sensory neurons, Motor neurons, Interneurons
• Auditory neurons

Types of neuron based on the structure

• Multipolar neurons, Bipolar neurons, Unipolar neurons
• Quadripolar neurons
• Tripolar neurons
• Monopolar neurons

Types of neurons based on conduction velocity

• Type Z fibers
• Type X fibers
• Type Y fibers
• Type A fibers, Type B fibers, Type C fibers

Types of myelinated neurons

• B-delta fibers
• C fibers
• D fibers
• A-alpha fibers, A-beta fibers, A-gamma fibers

What is anterograde transport?

• The movement of cargo from one cell to another through gap junctions.
• Movement of cellular cargo from the cell body towards the axon terminals in neurons.
• The process of transporting cargo within a cell from the nucleus to the cell membrane.
• Movement of cellular cargo from the axon terminals towards the cell body in neurons.

What is retrograde transport in neurons?

• Retrograde transport refers to the movement of molecules from one neuron to another.
• Retrograde transport in neurons refers to the movement of molecules, organelles, or cellular components from the axon terminal towards the cell body.
• Retrograde transport is the movement of molecules from the cell body towards the axon terminal.
• Retrograde transport involves the movement of molecules within the dendrites of neurons.

What are Glial Cells?

• Glial cells are specialized neurons in the central nervous system
• Glial cells are found only in the peripheral nervous system
• Glial cells are responsible for transmitting electrical signals in the brain
• Glial cells are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system that provide support and protection for neurons.

What are the types of glial cells?

• Neurons, Dendrites, Axons, Synapses
• Epithelial cells, Connective tissue cells, Muscle cells, Nerve cells
• Astrocytes, Oligodendrocytes, Microglia, Ependymal cells
• Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Basophils, Eosinophils
