Question

1 microglia 2 astrocytes 3 ependymal 4 oligodendrocytes match each of the options above to the items below. engulf bacterial and cellular debris. provides nutrients to neurons and produces a hormone known as glial - derived growth factor. form myelin, a protective layer of fatty insulation. line the hollow cavities, or ventricles, of the brain.

Explanation:

Microglia are immune - like cells in the brain that engulf bacterial and cellular debris. Astrocytes provide nutrients to neurons and produce glial - derived growth factor. Oligodendrocytes form myelin, a fatty insulation layer for neurons. Ependymal cells line the ventricles of the brain.

Answer:

Engulf bacterial and cellular debris: 1. microglia
Provides nutrients to neurons and produces a hormone known as glial - derived growth factor: 2. astrocytes
Form myelin, a protective layer of fatty insulation: 4. oligodendrocytes
Line the hollow cavities, or ventricles, of the brain: 3. ependymal
