Summary Introduction
To review:
Match the term astrocyte with the most closely related description given below:
Positive feedback
Connects initial segment to cell body
Sensory information
Monitor position/movement of joints
Myelin
One dendrite
Neuron cell bodies in PNS
Blood brain barrier (BBB)
Side branches of axons
Skeletal muscle cells
Introduction:
Astrocytes, one of the neuroglia help in the maintenance of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The BBB is a very selective barrier membrane, which creates a barrier between the blood and the extracellular fluid present in the central nervous system (CNS).

- While downhill skiing, Jerry lost control and appeared to hit into a tree, chest first. The ski patrol that are also certified in EMT reported that Jerry was found with his head cocked at a peculiar angle and it looked like he had a fracture at the position of the C2 vertebra. During triage, Jerry appeared cyanotic and apneic. His heart was still beating, but his pulse was fast and thready. a) Explain how the described angle of the head might contribute to the loss of breathingarrow_forwardWhile downhill skiing, Jerry lost control and appeared to hit into a tree, chest first.

- Women in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries wore whalebone corsets that severely restricted the respiratory and digestive systems. These corsets were worn to have a wasp-like waist.

Your friend asks you what all this means. Explain. (Start by checking the section on blood vessel disorders.)arrow_forward
