Topic 1: The Nervous System
Nervous system tissue contains two groups of cells: neuroglia and neurons. Neuroglial cells provide many essential functions to help keep the nervous system running efficiently. Neurons form the structural and functional foundation of the nervous system as they have the important job of transmitting signals throughout the body. Additionally, when damage occurs to a neuron due to disease or injury, signals cannot be transmitted, and paralysis can occur.
Oligodendrocytes
THEN, do some additional research, and answer the following questions below for both neuroglia and neurons.
Which neuroglial cell was assigned to you and what is the function of this cell?
What would happen if your assigned neuroglial cells were destroyed or became dysfunctional what effect would there be to the nervous system? Could it lead to a disorder or disease? If so, what?
Neurons transmit impulses via the release of neurotransmitters. Choose one type of neurotransmitter and briefly discuss its role in the nervous system.
Research a nerve regeneration study (e.g., using University Library, Google Scholar). In 23 sentences, summarize the study including its outcomes. What are your thoughts on nerve regeneration do you think this is something you will see in your lifetime? Why or why not?
