-
-
-
Sensory neuron
highly sensitive to particular type of stimulation (light, touch sound)
Structure
-
Cell body (soma-body): contains the nucleus, ribosomes, mitochondria...
-
Presynaptic Terminal: bulb-shaped at the end of the axon. Release chemicals from axon that cross to the other neutrons dendrites
Glia
Astrocytes
Star shaped cells wrap around presynaptic terminals of a group of axons; sponges: absorb chemicals released by the axons then release them again in waves
-
-
-
Microglia(small)
Remove water material like viruses, fungi, and other microorganisms
-
-
-
-
Blood-Brain Barrier
Mechanism keeps most chemical out of brain; keeps bacteria and viruses out of the brains cells prevent infected
brain normally does not replace dead neurons ( if neurons in brain infected or dies will lead to brain damage)
