  • Neuroglial cells support neurons in the CNS and maintain the chemical environment, including levels of Ca2+ and K+

    Astrocytes (CNS)

  • produce myelin in CNS

    Oligodentdrocytes (CNS)

  • participate in phagocytosis

    Microglia (CNS)

  • form and circulate CSF

    ependymal cells (CNS)

  • support neurons in PNS

    Satellite Cells (PNS)

  • produce myelin in PNS

    Schwann Cells (PNS)

  • maintain blood brain barrier, structural support, regulates ion, nutrients and dissolve gas concentrations, absorb and recycles neurotransmitters, form scar tissue after injury

    ASTROCYTES (CNS)

  • line ventricles (brain) and central canal (spinal cord) forms and circulated cerebrospinal fluid

    EPENDYMAL CELLS (CNS)

  • myelinate CNS axons , provides structural framework

    Oligodendrocytes

  • removes cell debris, waste, and pathogens by phagocytosis

    Microglia

  • sorrrounds neuron cell bodies in ganglia regulates oxygen O2, and carbon dioxide CO2, nutrients and neurotransmitter levels around neurons in ganglia

    Satellite Cells ( PNS)

  • sorround all axons in PNS responsible for myelination of Peripheral axons: participates in repair process after injury

    Schwann Cells
