NEUROGLIA OF CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AND PERIPHERAL
NERVOUS SYSTEM
FUNCTIONS :
- TO SURROUND NUERONS ANF HOLD THEM IN PLACE
- TO SUPPLY NUTRIENTS AND OXYGEN TO NEURONS
- TO INSULATE ONE NEURONS FROM ANOTHER
- TO DESTROY AND REMOVE THE CAREASSES OF DEAD NEURONS.
NEUROGLIA IN CNS
- ASTROCYTES
- MICROGLIAL CELLS
- OLIGODENDROCYTES
ASTROCYTES :
- SMALL CELLS BODIES WITH BRANCHING PROCESS THAT ECTENDS
IN ALL DIRECTIONS
- FIBROUS ASTROCYTES ARE FOUND MAINLY IN THE WHITE
MATTER WHOLE THEIR PROCESSES PASS WITHOUT THE NERVE
FIBESS.
- PROTOPLASMIC ASTROCYTES ARE MAINLY FOUND IN THE GRAY
MATTER WHERE THEIR PROCESES PRESS BETWEEN THE NERVE
CELL BODIES .
