Study Notes

Nervous Tissue Overview

  • Nervous tissue is composed of neurons and neuroglia.
  • Neuroglia are 10 times more abundant than neurons.
  • Neuroglia perform various functions, including maintaining the blood-brain barrier, providing structural support, regulating ion levels, and removing waste products.

Learning Objectives

  • Classify neuroglia based on function and location
  • Identify neuroglial cells based on their location
  • Understand the structure of neuroglia in relation to their function
  • Describe the function of each neuroglia

Neuroglia Classification

  • Neuroglia in the central nervous system (CNS):
    • Astrocytes (Protoplasmic and Fibrous)
    • Oligodendrocytes
    • Ependymal cells
    • Microglia
  • Neuroglia in the peripheral nervous system (PNS):
    • Schwann cells
    • Satellite cells

Astrocytes

  • Star-shaped glial cells with many radiating processes.
  • Two types: fibrous and protoplasmic.
  • Function:
    • Participate in blood-brain barrier formation
    • Provide structural support.

Oligodendrocytes

  • Small glial cells responsible for myelination in the CNS.
  • One oligodendrocyte can myelinate multiple nerve fibers.

Microglia

  • Small glial cells with short irregular processes.
  • Common throughout nervous tissue.
  • Mobile phagocytic cells that remove damaged cells and microorganisms.

Ependymal Cells

  • Cuboidal cells lining the central canal of the spinal cord and brain ventricles.
  • Produce and circulate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

Schwann Cells

  • Glial cells responsible for myelination in the PNS
  • One Schwann cell myelinates a single axon segment.

Satellite Cells

  • Surround neuronal cell bodies in ganglia
  • Provide supportive, nourishing, insulating and regulating microenvironment for the neurons.

Nervous Tissue Organization

  • Diagram illustrating the distribution of neuroglia in the central and peripheral nervous systems shows how the different types of neuroglia are found in specific locations.
