|
astrocytes
|
The most abundant and versatile glial cells. Function in making exchange between capillaries and neurons and control chemical environment.
|
|
|
oligodendrocytes
|
wrap around neurons and produce myelin
|
|
|
microglia
|
phagocytizes microorganisms or neuronal debris; have protective or immune function.
|
|
|
ependymal cells
|
are ciliated; form permeable barrier between CSF and fluid bathing the cells of CNS.
|
|
|
satellite cells
|
surround neuron cell bodies; have same function as astrocytes
|
|
|
schwann cells
|
form myelin around large never fibers in PNS; have same function as oligodendrocytes.
