1
New cards

astrocytes

  • chemical recyclers in the brain removing neurotransmitters from synapses

  • controls the chemical environment among the neurons

  • anchors neurons and blood vessels

2
New cards

oligodendrocytes

  • (serve the CNS) through myelination of long axonal fibers.

  • They ensure timely propagation and transmission of action potentials among the neurons in communication

3
New cards

microglial cell

remove damaged tissue following an injury. They also remove harmful pathogens through phagocytosis

4
New cards

ependymal cell

line the ventricles in the brain ensuring the circulation of cerebral spinal fluid throughout the central nervous system

5
New cards

schwann cell

  • (serve the Peripheral Nervous System) through myelination of long axonal fibers.

  • They ensure timely propagation and transmission of action potentials among the neurons in communication
