Cell that is between blood vessels and neurons, collectively known as the blood-brain barrier
Astrocytes
An action potential is the flipping of _______ and ________ charges along the plasma membrane of a neuron
positive and negative
The meninge that is directly connected to bone

Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
The long single extension that transmits information towards the next neuron, usually myelinated
Cell that cleans up cellular debris in the nervous system
Microglia
When an action potential arrives at an ion channel, it opens, allowing positive charges to come inside the neuron. This changes the potential across the membrane to become more positive, a process known as _________
Depolarization

Ependymal cells
Describe the mechanism of drugs that act as a reuptake inhibitor for certain neurotransmitters
They block up the proteins that normally take the neurotransmitter out of the synapse and recycle it back into the neuron.
