GLIA ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SPECIALSIED SUPPORT CELLS WHICH PROVIDE
CELLS WITH NEURONAL FUNCTION
Astrocyte- Neuron Lactate Shuttle’:
Glucose stored as glycogen
Glycogen converted into lactate
Lactate turned into energy for neurons
Astrocytes:
Take up lactate released during action potential
Prevents build up
Build up causes unregulated neuronal activity
Gliogenesis
Glia cells production
Synaptogenesis
Synapse formation
BBB (Blood brain barrier)
K+ regulation
Neurotransmitters uptake
