1. Cell Jobs/ link nerve picture
• Nancy’s Non-Neural Family- The neuroglia family is the glue to the neurons and is also a
great support and protection force.
Amanda Astocyte- She covers the surface of the neuron and blood vessel slide. She
helps provide structural support and helps form the blood/brain barrier. Also she regulates
what substances from the blood reach the neurons
Carl Ciliated ependymal- He lines the ventricles of the brain bowling alley to help move
the cerebrospinal fluid that keeps everything running smoothly.
Erika Ependymal- Carl’s partner, On the surface of the choroid plexus secretes the
cerebrospinal fluid.
Marcus Microglia- He phagocytizes dead nervous tissue, microorganisms and other
foreign matter. This helps keep the fair clean for all its customers.
Olga Oligodencrocyte- She is the extension from the Myelin sheath around each axon
within the peripheral nervous system. She helps all parts of the park under control.
Sam Schwann- He forms the myelin sheath around each axon within the peripheral
nervous system. This provides protection for the riders, so they are safe from harm.
Sydney Satellite- Neuron cell bodies with ganglia are surrounded by her. She also
provides protection to the rides and the riders.
• Niall’s Neural Family- This family receives stimuli and conducts action potentials.
Unipolar Ugo- He is a single fiber that extends from the cell and divides into two branches,
one connected to the peripheral body part and works as a dendrite, the other entering the
brain or spinal cord and functions as an axon.
Bipolar Beatrice- She has only two nerve fibers one, an axon and the multipolar neuron.
