Which of the following tissues bind and support other tissues in the body?
connective tissue
The tissue that binds other tissues together, supporting them and supporting the organs, is connective tissue.
What supports and nourishes nervous tissue?
Neuroglia – cells in the central nervous system that help to support, protect, nourish, and maintain the neurons (Fig.
What do you call connective tissue that binds neurons together?
Perineurium. Each nerve fascicle containing one or more axons, is enclosed by the perineurium, a connective tissue having a lamellar arrangement in seven or eight concentric layers.
What are the supporting glue like cells of nervous tissue called?
They are one kind of cell called glia, which is Greek for “glue.” Previously found to be involved in controlling excitatory synapses, a team of Duke scientists also found that astrocytes are involved in regulating inhibitory synapses by binding to neurons through an adhesion molecule called NrCAM.
What is the name of the tissue which helps in the protection and support of the body?
Connective tissue
Connective tissue binds the various parts of the body together, providing support and protection. Muscle tissue allows the body to move and nervous tissues functions in communication.
What are supporting cells in nervous tissue?
Nervous tissue also includes cells that do not transmit impulses, but instead support the activities of the neurons. These are the glial cells (neuroglial cells), together termed the neuroglia. Supporting, or glia, cells bind neurons together and insulate the neurons.
What are the support cells of the nervous system?
Nervous tissue is composed of neurons and supporting cells called neuroglia, or ” glial cells.”
What supports insulate protects cells?
These are the glial cells (neuroglial cells), together termed the neuroglia. Supporting, or glia, cells bind neurons together and insulate the neurons. Some are phagocytic and protect against bacterial invasion, while others provide nutrients by binding blood vessels to the neurons.
Which of the following helps in repair of tissue?
Areolar tissue
Areolar tissue fills the space inside the organs and supports internal organs and helps in the repair of tissue.
What cell of the central nervous system is responsible for providing support functions such as generating myelin and providing nutrients?
Schwann cells
Glial cells of the (b) peripheral nervous system include Schwann cells, which form the myelin sheath, and satellite cells, which provide nutrients and structural support to neurons. Figure 16.8.
Are the neuroglial cells that anchor blood vessels to nerves?
1. Astrocytes. These star-shaped cells are the largest of the glial cells and have a supportive and insulating function. They hold together the nervous tissue and anchor it to the blood vessels that course through it (Fig.
How does connective tissue support other tissue types?
Connective tissue underlies and supports other tissue types. Muscle tissue contracts to initiate movement in the body. Nervous tissue transmits and integrates information through the central and peripheral nervous systems. Features – high cellularity, special sensory receptors, forms a barrier, avascular, innervated
Why is muscle tissue important to the nervous system?
Muscle tissue contracts forcefully when excited, providing movement. Nervous tissue is also excitable, allowing for the generation and propagation of electrochemical signals in the form of nerve impulses that communicate between different regions of the body (Figure 4.1.1).
Which is an excitable part of the nervous system?
Nervous tissue is also excitable, allowing for the generation and propagation of electrochemical signals in the form of nerve impulses that communicate between different regions of the body (Figure 4.1.1).
How are the cells of the nervous system specialized?
Nervous tissue. Cells of the nervous system are highly specialized to transmit electrical impulses around the body. There are two main types: neurons and glia. Neurons tend to have a large cell body and projections carrying information to (dendrites) and from (axons) the cell body itself.
