Neuroglia astrocytes

Neuroglia Non-neuronal support cells in the nervous system, such as astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. [Pg.246]

Astrocyte. One of the large neuroglia cells of nervous tissue. [Pg.564]

Neuroglia include (1) ependymal cells lining the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord, (2) cells of the PNS (Schwann cell) and CNS (oligodendrocyte) that wrap around axons to form compacted plasma membranes (myelin) that provide electrical insulation to speed nerve conduction, (3) cells (astrocytes) that interface between nerve cells and capillaries in the CNS, regulate interstitial water content, concentration, remove and metabolize certain NT molecules, and proliferate following injury. [Pg.1797]

The nervous system consists of neurons, the cells that transmit signals, and supporting cells, the neuroglia. The neuroglia consists of oligodendrocytes and astrocytes... [Pg.882]
