(Tıp, İlaç) Glial cells, commonly called neuroglia or simply glia (greek for "glue"), are non-neuronal cells that provide support and nutrition, maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and participate in signal transmission in the nervous system
sustentacular tissue that surrounds and supports neurons in the central nervous system; glial and neural cells together compose the tissue of the central nervous system
Means "glue " The cells of your brain that are not neurons or blood vessel cells These cells help to hold the rest of your brain cells together
also called neuroglia; supportive cells of the nervous system that make up the blood-brain barrier, provide nutrients and oxygen to the vital neurons, and protect the neurons from infection, toxicity, and trauma Some examples of glia are oligodendroglia, astrocytes, and microglia
supportive tissue of the brain There are three types of glial tissue: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia Glial cells do not conduct electrical impulses, as opposed to neurons
Glia refers to glial cells or neuroglia, the special connective tissue of the central nervous system
The major support cells of the brain These cells are involved in the nutrition and maintenance of the nerve cells
the supporting structure nervous tissue consisting of a fine web of tissue composed of modified ectodermal elements; consists of astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglial cell types
