Study Notes

Nerve Tissue

  • Nerve tissue is 10 times more abundant than neurons consisting of neuroglia cells.

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be able to classify neuroglia.
  • Students will be able to identify neuroglia cells based on their location.
  • Students will be able to describe the structure of neuroglia.
  • Students will understand the function of each neuroglia in relation to its structure.

Types of Neuroglia

  • Astrocytes: Star-shaped glial cells with radiating processes. Two types:

    • Fibrous astrocytes: few, long, and relatively straight processes.
    • Protoplasmic astrocytes: many, short, and branching processes
    • Function:
      • Participate in the formation of the blood-brain barrier (BBB)
      • Provide structural support
  • Oligodendrocytes: Glial cells responsible for the myelination of nerve fibers within the central nervous system (CNS). One oligodendrocyte can myelinate several nerve fibers.

  • Microglia: Small glial cells with short, irregular processes.

    • Common throughout the nervous tissue.
    • Mobile cells; migrate throughout the tissue, scanning for damaged cells and microorganisms.
    • Phagocytic cells of the nervous tissue.
  • Ependymal cells: Cuboidal cells lining the central canal of the spinal cord and the brain ventricles.

    • Secrete cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
  • Schwann cells: Glial cells responsible for myelination of nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). One Schwann cell can myelinate a short segment of one axon compared with oligodendrocytes.

  • Satellite cells: Often called capsular cells, these cells form a covering layer around neuronal cell bodies in ganglia. -Provide supportive, nourishing, insulating and regulating micro-environment for the neuron.
