10 size of neurons
10x asmany glia are neurons
provide physical other support forneurons
packed through the nervous system
insulate them from each other as we see neurons
work from electrical activity
build scar tissuewhenthere are holes or voids caused
by damage
guide regrowth in the peripheral nervous system
types of glial cells
a tes
both of these types of glia are functioning to producemyelin
myelin a fatty that wraps around axons and
substance
provider insulation so that axons don't cross talk
between eachother
myelin also helps the neural signal to travel
faster
