Glialcellerna
Glial cells, also known as neuroglia or glia, are non-neuronal cells in the nervous system. They are crucial for the survival and function of neurons, providing structural support, insulation, and nourishment. While once thought to be merely passive support cells, research has revealed that glial cells are active participants in neural signaling and contribute to various brain functions, including learning and memory.
There are several types of glial cells in the central nervous system, which includes the brain and
In the peripheral nervous system, which comprises nerves outside the brain and spinal cord, Schwann cells perform
Glial cells are essential for maintaining nervous system health. Dysfunctional glial cells have been implicated in
