Question
Chapter 16.4, Problem 8CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The type of central nervous system cell that can become phagocyte.
Introduction:
The monocytes on maturation form the macrophages. The macrophages are crucial for the initiation of the immune response. The macrophages are one of the phagocytic cells and are found in the lungs, lymph nodes and liver. The macrophages engulf the antigen and present it on the surface. This is done with the help of specific molecules such as a cluster of differentiation and major histocompatibility complex.

Describe the structure and function of the brain, nervous system, limbic system, and the sensorimotor system
Efficient processing of information by the central nervous system (CNS) represents an important evolutionary advantage. Thus, homeostatic mechanisms have developed that provide appropriate circumstances for neuronal signaling, including a highly controlled and stable microenvironment. To provide such a milieu for neurons, extracellular fluids of the CNS are separated from the changeable environment of blood at three major interfaces: at the brain capillaries by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). The central nervous system (CNS) is tightly sealed from the changeable milieu of blood by the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the bloodcerebrospinal fluid (CSF) barrier (BCSFB). Based on the description, please describe the comparison between the structure of the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) and the blood-CSF barrier

it has a phagocytic function
is very dynamic growing and shrinking very rapidly
O its envelops several neighboring neurons

Their calculations gave them slightly different predictions. What is the most likely reason for this difference? The lipid compositions of the cell membranes that the scientists studied were different. The scientists placed their measuring electrodes in slightly different positions. The temperatures of the fluid surrounding the cell membranes were different. The numbers of ions considered in the calculations were different. The scientists measured different numbers of cells.arrow_forward
