Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glial cells, specifically astrocytes, have specialized extensions called astrocytic endfeet that form a barrier between the blood vessels and neurons, known as the blood-brain barrier. These endfeet also participate in the transfer of nutrients, such as glucose, from the blood vessels to neurons. Purkinjie cells are a type of neuron found in the cerebellum, Ranvier nodes are gaps in the myelin sheath of axons, and cerebral cells do not exist as a specific cell type.
