Neurons process and carry information from one neuron to the next, or between neurons and muscles. In their supportive role glia provide neurons with nutrition and growth factors; they maintain neural homeostasis by removing toxic substances, and provide neurons with electrical insulation, assuring proper neuron function. In addition, glia act as substrates for neural migration.

They compose a voluminous \"support\" system that is essential to the proper operation of nervous tissue/the nervous system. Unlike neurons, glial cells do not conduct nerve impulses.

peer agreement (net): +1glial/glia Explanation: Glia: The Forgotten Brain Cell The brain is made up of more than just nerve cells (neurons). Although there are about 100 billion neurons in the brain, there are about 10 to 50 times that many glial cells in the brain. But do you hear much about glia? NO! Because neurons get all the attention, you don't hear too much about glia. Although glia cells DO NOT carry nerve impulses (action potentials) they do have many important functions...in fact, without glia, the neurons would not work properly! Types and Functions of Glia Name of Glial Cell Function Astrocyte (Astroglia) Star-shaped cells that provide physical and nutritional support for neurons: 1) clean up brain "debris"; 2) transport nutrients to neurons; 3) hold neurons in place; 4) digest parts of dead neurons; 5) regulate content of extracellular space Microglia Like astrocytes, microglia digest parts of dead neurons. Oligodendroglia Provide the insulation (myelin) to neurons in the central nervous system. Satellite Cells Physical support to neurons in the peripheral nervous system. Schwann Cells Provide the insulation (myelin) to neurons in the peripheral nervous system. There are a few ways in which glia cells are different from neurons: Neurons have TWO "processes" called axons and dendrites....glial cells only have ONE. Neurons CAN generate action potentials...glial cells CANNOT. However, glial cells do have a resting potential. Neurons HAVE synapses that use neurotransmitters...glial cells do NOT have chemical synapses. There are many MORE (10-50 times more) glial cells in the brain compared to the number of neurons. http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/glia.html |
