Populations have growth limits

Categorize these limits as being either density independent or density dependent.

Both Astrocytes

send processes to blood vessels, where they induce capillaries to form the tight junctions making up the blood–brain barrier send processes that envelop synapses and the surface of nerve cells.

Protoplasmic astrocytes produce substances that are tropic to neurons, & they help maintain the appropriate concentration of ions & neurotransmitters by taking up K+ & neurotransmitters glutamate & γ-aminobutyrate (GABA)

Ependymal cells are ciliated-epithelial glial cells that develop from radial glia along the surface of the ventricles of the brain and the spinal canal & play a critical role in cerebrospinal fluid homeostasis, brain metabolism, and the clearance of waste from the brain.

Neurons generally have four important zones:

A dendritic zone, where multiple local potential changes generated by synaptic connections are integrated. a site where propagated action potentials are generated. an axonal process that transmits propagated impulses to the nerve endings the nerve endings, where action potentials cause the release of synaptic transmitters.

Types of neurons Based on the number of processes that emanate from their cell body, neurons can be classified as unipolar, bipolar, and multipolar.
