Glial cells, also called glial cells or neuroglia, are cell which are non-neuronal and are located within the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system that provides physical and metabolic support to neurons, including neuronal insulation and communication, and nutrient and waste transport.

GLIAL CELLS SummaryOverview Glial cells vs neurons • Glial cells are smaller than neurons and are closely associate with neurons. Gray matter • Comprises neurons' dendrites and cell bodies White matter • Comprises the neurons' axons6 TYPES OF GLIAL CELLS Central Nervous System 1) Astrocytes (Macroglia) • Star-shaped • Support and brace neurons • Anchor neurons to supply lines • Help determine capillary permeability (helping to form blood/brain barrier) • Guide young neuron migration and…

Nerve tissue is specialized for chemical and electrical communication and consists of neurons and supporting cells, called glial cell. Glial cells constitute most of the volume of nervous tissue. They protect and assist neurons by communication, but do not transmit long-distance signals. See chapter 12 for more detail on neurons and glial cells.
