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.
Which is most likely during forced expiration?

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
