Question
Chapter 13, Problem 3RFT
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).

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas.
