Question

True or False: Astroglia can be found in the parasympathetic nervous system

Answer 1

Answer

Astroglia can be found in the parasympathetic nervous system --- FALSE

• There are four types of neuroglia (supporting cells in nervous system) in the central nervous system :
  - Astrocytes / Astroglia (It helps in formation of blood brain barrier)
  - Ependymal cells
  - Oligodendocytes
  - Microglia
  
  
• There are two types of neuroglia in the peripheral nervous system :
  - Schwann cells
  - Satellite cells

As parasympathetic nervous system is a division of peripheral nervous system, astroglia cannot be found here.
Astroglia can be found in central nervous system.
