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.

Some drugs and toxic compounds interfere with removal of neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft once they have been released. (1) Explain the two basic mechanisms affected by Sarin nerve gas and the drug Prozac. (2) If you were investigating an autoimmune disease that appeared to interfere with removal of neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft, and you were able to isolate the causative antibody from the patient's serum, how could you use that antibody to investigate whether it affected one of the two inactivation mechanisms?
The image attached below depicts a histological slice of human cerebral cortex tissue.Using knowledge of the central nervous system and various cell-cell interactions, identify thekey type(s) of cell junctions present in this image (for example, tight junctions, gap junctions, and adherens junctions/desmosomes). Briefly describe the function of these celljunctions. How would the function of the central nervous system be impaired if your above identified celljunctions were disrupted?
Guillain-Barré syndrome has been reported worldwide after vaccination against COVID-19. A
76-year old woman presented with a tingling sensation in her upper and lower limbs and had
repeated falls caused by bilateral lower limb weakness after receiving a second dose of vaccine
(The Lancet Neurology, 2022).
(i)
Based on the description, which division(s) of the nervous system may be involved in
Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS)?
(ii) Though the exact cause of GBS is not known, in classical GBS the immune system destroys
the myelin sheath. What would you expect the results of a nerve conduction test to be if it
is performed on the GBS patient? Explain.

- 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 barrierarrow_forwardmultiple sclerosis is a demyelinating disease in which the patient's immune system attacks and destroys the cells that form the myelin sheath in the central nervous system. what types of symptoms would you expect from such a disease? why? would Schwann cells or oligodendrocytes be affected? explainarrow_forwardA patient accidentally touches a hot stove, but they made no response to let go of the stove.
