They secrete nerve growth factors, form a blood-brain barrier, regulate chemical composition of tissue fluid, and convert blood glucose to lactate for neurons to use for fuel.
To support the functioning of neurons. They regulate immediate neuron(s) chemical environment and are involved with blood flow in the brain and to neurons.
Yes, astrocytes are glial cells that are involved in blood flow and regulation of neuron external chemical environment
False.
This answer is An astrocyte is glia or a supporting cell for neurons. It does get its name from the fact that it is shaped like a star.
Star-shaped
they are star shaped
You are probably talking about an astrocyte. An astrocyte is a glial cell that supports neurons, and not actually a neuron itself.
A typical tulip has six sepals. There are some types of tulips like the star- or cup-shaped tulips that only have three.
No, neurons are cells which are found in brains - nothing to do with stars.

they would still be like a sphere
A star.
shaped like a star:)
Astrocytes anchor neurons to blood vessels!
Arranged or shaped like a star
Stars are not physically star-shaped (as in having 5 points). They're spherical in shape.
One of the most common answers is a five-shaped star.
