TermDefinition
Glia Support cells located in the brain, spinal cord, nerves. Structural and functional support of neurons.
Astrocytes Central body with many radiating processes located in the CNS. Promote nervous tissue development; provide nutrients to neurons, restore ion balance; help form and regulate synapses; part of blood-brain barrier.
Microglia Very small and stationary but can enlarge and move when stimulated. Located in the CNS. Engulf microbes and debris; prune neural circuits.
Ependymal cells Form sheets with motile cilia. Located in the CNS. Line fluid space; propel fluid.
Oligodendrocytes Central body with processes that wrap around neuron processes. Located in the CNS. Form insulating myelin sheath around CNS nerve fibers, which promotes rapid conduction along neurons.
Schwann cells Entire cell wraps around neuron processes; outer portion called neurilemma. Located in the PNS. Form insulating myelin sheath around PNS nerve fibers, which promotes rapid conduction along neurons; promotes regeneration of damaged nerve fibers.
Neurons Central body with fiber-like processes. Located in the brain and spinal cord, and nerves. Detect stimuli; conduct impulses; signal other cell.
Multipolar neurons Single axon, multiple dendrites. Located in the brain and spinal cord. Conduct information along sensory pathways.
Bipolar neurons Single axon; single highly branched dendrite. Located in retina of eye, inner ear, olfactory pathway. Conduct information along sensory pathways.
Unipolar neurons (pseudounipolar) Single process branches to form a central and a peripheral process. Located in sensory pathways.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
