|---|---|---|
| Star-shaped cells that maintain a neuron’s working environment. They do this by controlling the levels of neurotransmitter around synapses, controlling the concentrations of important ions like potassium, and providing metabolic support. | Astrocytes | 100%
|
| Line the spinal cord and ventricles of the brain. They are involved in creating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). | Ependymal | 50%
|
| The Brain's immune cells protecting it from damage or disease | Microglia | 50%
|
| Provides support to axons of neurons in the central nervous system, particularly those that travel long distances within the brain. They produce a fatty substance called myelin, which is wrapped around axons as a layer of insulation. | Oligodendrocytes | 50%
|
| Surrounds neurons in the sensory, sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia and help regulate the chemical environment. | Satellite | 50%
|
| Myelinate neurons in the peripheral nervous system. | Schwan | 50%
|
| Are found in the nerves in the digestive system. | Enteric | 0%
|
| Progenitor cells that can generate neurons, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. | Radial | 0%
