New cards

neurons

Individual cells in the nervous system that receive, integrate, and transmit information.

<p>Individual cells in the nervous system that receive, integrate, and transmit information.</p>
2
New cards

neuroglial cells "nerve glue"

various cells that are found in the brain and spinal cord that provide physical support, insulation, and nutrients for neurons.
In this picture the big cell is the neuron, and the little dots are these other "care-taking" cells

New cards

Astrocytes ("star cells")

*most abundant brain cell
*form blood-brain barrier by wrapping around capillaries
*modify and affect synaptic function
*modify and regulate myelination
*monitor electrolytes around neurons
