Which of the following is not the structural component of the blood-brain barrier?

Identify the layers of the cerebellar cortex:

Sattellite cells are:

specific glial cells involved in the formation the blood-brain-barrier

sparsely placed fusiform neurons in the molecular layer of the cerebral cortex

supportive gliocytes surrounding the cell bodies of large neurons in the ganglia

Arrange the layers of the cerebral cortex in the proper sequence (starting from the surface):
