Match the types of neuroglial cells in Column I with their functions in column II
| Column I | Column II |
|---|---|
| A. Oligodendrocyte | I. Production of CSF |
| B. Astrocyte | II. Formation of white matter of CNS |
| C. Ependymal cells | III. Produce myelin sheath around the nerves of PNS |
| D. Schwann cells | IV. Maintenance of blood brain barrier. |
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
Oligodendrocytes are responsible for the formation of the myelin sheath in the central nervous system (CNS), which forms the white matter. Thus, A matches II.
Astrocytes are star-shaped cells that provide structural support and maintain the blood-brain barrier. Thus, B matches IV.
Ependymal cells line the ventricles of the brain and are involved in the production and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Thus, C matches I.
Schwann cells produce the myelin sheath around the axons of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Thus, D matches III.
The correct matching is A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III.
Answer: A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
