54-year-old man comes to him primary care physician
because of gradually
worsening shortness of breath. He also expresses concern that her
lips turn blue when she
ascends stairs. On physical examination, the physician notes
increased anteroposterior (AP)
diameter of her chest, hyperresonance on percussion of lung fields,
and increased respiratory
effort. The patient’s blood pressure is 110/70 mm Hg and her pulse
is 90/min. He has had well-
managed diabetes for 10 years and a 30-pack-year history of
smoking. The patient is sent for
evaluation of him lung function.

Neuroglia support and protect neurons. The central nervous system (CNS) has four (4) types of neuroglia. Correctly match each cell characteristic with the correct neuroglial cell.
Line the centre canal in spinal cord
Largest neuroglial cell
Can migrate to through neural tissue
Produce, monitor and circulate cerebrospinal fluid
Most abundant neuroglial cells
Maintain blood- brain barrier
Many are ciliated
Many cytoplasmic processes with feet
Help to provide structural for framework CNS
Cell type includes ependyocytes and tanycytes
Smallest number of neuroglial cells
Forms cuboidal columnar epithelium
Lacking abasement membrane
Engulf cellular debris, waste products and pathogens
Contain many microfilaments
Adjust composition of interstitial fluid
Have some slender cytoplasmic extensions in contact with neuron surface
Small cell body
Forms membranous wrapping (myelin) around axon
Provides electrical insulation for axon
Maintain permeability characteristics of capillary endothelial cells
Phagocytes
Repair/ stabilise damaged neural tissue
Cytoplasmic processes each with very fine branches
Increases speed of action potential
Ependymal cells Astrocytes oligodendrocytes microglia
