Gliaalisista
Gliaalisista is a term referring to glial biology or glial cells, the non-neuronal cells of the nervous system that provide structural and functional support to neurons. Glial cells, collectively known as glia, are essential for maintaining homeostasis, forming the myelin sheath, and supporting neuronal activity. They also participate in immune defense and respond to nervous system injury.
The major types of glial cells include astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, microglia, and ependymal cells. In
Functions of glial cells extend beyond support. They participate in synaptic modulation, influence neural circuit activity,
Clinical relevance is evident in diseases involving glia. Gliomas are tumors arising from glial cells, while
