This surface of epithelial cells faces the lumen or the outside of the body.
What is the apical surface?
These cells help neurons by supplying them with nutrients and fighting foreign invaders for them.
What are neuroglial cells?
Tendons and ligaments are made up of this strong type of connective tissue.
What is dense connective tissue?
This glial cell forms myelin around multiple axons in the central nervous system, increasing the speed of nerve signal transmission.
What are oligodendrocytes?
All types of connective tissue consist of cells surrounded by a filler material. In bones, this filler material is made of minerals like calcium phosphate. In general, this filler material is known as:
What is the matrix?
This ciliated epithelial tissue lines much of the respiratory tract and only looks stratified.
What is pseudostratified columnar epithelial tissue?
Damage to this nervous system cell would disrupt the blood–brain barrier, impair nutrient delivery to neurons, and alter the chemical environment needed for proper neural signaling.
What are astrocytes?
