The NHTSA reports that most accidents occur during rush hour, between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. And according to the NHTSA, Saturday is the most dangerous day of the week to drive, primarily because there are more cars â and more drunk drivers â on the road than any other day.
They are also commonly known as neuroglia and even more simply glia. In more detailed terms, neuroglia are cells in your nervous system that are not neurons. Their role is to be the support team and cheerleaders for the neurons. The neuroglia: Form myelin, which wraps around axons to speed up electric impulse conduction ; Provide nutrients to your neurons, including oxygen ; Destroy pathogens ; Provide a general support structure on which neurons can sit ; In this lesson, we will focus on the neuroglia located in your central nervous system.
Neurons & the Nervous System. The human nervous system consists of billions of nerve cells (or neurons)plus supporting (neuroglial) cells. Neurons are able to respond to stimuli (such as touch, sound, light, and so on), conduct impulses, and communicate with each other (and with other types of cells like muscle cells).hese neurons are also sensory. For example, biopolar neurons can be found in the retina of the eye. Neuroglial, or glial, cells-general functions include: 1 - forming myelin sheaths 2 - protecting neurons (via phagocytosis) 3 - regulating the internal environment of neurons in the central nervous system.
