? Neuron : ? Supporting cells : – CNS : neuroglia (glia) – PNS : Schwann cells and satellite cells – Functions : ? physical support ? electrical insulation ? metabolic exchange ? bloodbrain barrier Composition of Nervous Tissue Types and Functions of Glia Name of Glial Cell Function Astrocyte (Astroglia) Starshaped cells that provide physical and nutritional support for neurons: 1) clean up braindebris。 2) transport nutrients to neurons。 3) hold neurons in place。 4) digest parts of dead neurons。 5) regulate content of extracellular space Microglia Like astrocytes, microglia digest parts of dead neurons. Oligodendroglia Provide the insulation (myelin) to neurons in the
