the cells of the nervous system that support, protect, and nourish the neurons.

supporting cells that form a network around neurons in the brain and spinal cord. These include four major classes of cells: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells and microglial cells.

Cells that provide little-understood support services to neurons (nerve cells).

Glial cells are maintenance and support cells in the central nervous system [CNS]. There are a number of different types of glial cell in the CNS including, oligodendrocytes, astrocytes and microglia.

supportive connective tissue between nervous tissue in the brain and the spinal cord.

The supporting cells of the central nervous system. They insulate neurons from one another so that neural messages do not get confused or misguided.

Support cells that surround neurons in the brain.

Type of cells that the body uses to build myelin, the insulating sheath around nerves. Also see oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells.

In the nervous system, cells that support and protect neurons.

Nonconducting cells that serve as support cells in the nervous system and help to protect neurons.

The supporting cells of the nervous system that enable neurons to function correctly. There are four main types of glial cells in humans and other mammals. Astrocytes, microglia and oligodendrocytes occur in the brain and spinal cord. Schwann cells are found only in peripheral nerves (nerves other than those in the brain and spinal cord).

non-neuronal cells that perform support functions in the brain, providing structure and assisting metabolism. AIDS dementia complex is believed to involve infection of glial and other support cells.

From the Greek for "glue," glial cells are supportive cells associated with neurons. Astrocytes and oligodendrocytes are central nervous system glial cells. In the peripheral nervous system the main glial cells are called Schwann cells.

Brain cells that provide support functions for the neurons.

The delicate cells and fibers that support the tissue of the central nervous system. Reference: B1

Specialized cells that surround neurons. They provide mechanical and physical support to neurons and electrical insulation between neurons.

(neuroglia): Inexcitable supportive cells associated with neurons in nervous tissue

The word "glial" comes from a Greek word meaning "glue." These supporting cells form a protective coating and nourishment for neurons. They are also essential in providing structural support ("scaffolding") for growing and developing neurons. Glial cells multiply throughout the human lifespan.

Cells that serve as supporting elements to the brain and act as scavengers, removing debris after injury or neuronal death. They are also responsible for maintaining ionic balance and producing the fatty coating in nerve cells.

Cells in the brain that act as guidewires for growing neurons, provide a supportive scaffolding for mature neurons, and form the myelin sheath and blood-brain barrier.

nerve cells that form a supporting network for the neurons in the brain. The word "glia" comes from the Greek word for glue.

Brain cells that provide the material from which myelin is created, nourish neurons, and provide a scaffolding for neuron migration.

Interstitial cells in the pineal gland

Brain cells that support neurons by performing a variety of "housekeeping" functions in the brain.
