Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Astrocytes, shown in Figure 16.8a make contact with both capillaries and neurons in the CNS. They provide nutrients and other substances to neurons, regulate the concentrations of ions and chemicals in the extracellular fluid, and provide structural support for synapses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Astrocytes form the bridge that connects neuronal signaling to the CNS vasculature.
Detailed explanation-3: -Astrocytes are specialized glial cells that outnumber neurons by over fivefold. They contiguously tile the entire central nervous system (CNS) and exert many essential complex functions in the healthy CNS.
