  2. Satellite glial cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_glial_cell

    Unlike their adjacent neurons, SGCs do not have synapses but are equipped with receptors for a variety of neuroactive substances that are analogous to those found in neurons. [5] Axon terminals as well as other parts of the neuron carry receptors to substances such as acetylcholine (ACh), GABA, glutamate, ATP, noradrenaline , substance P , and ...

  3. Soma (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma_(biology)

    Such transport of molecules towards and away from the soma maintains critical cell functions. In case of neurons, the soma receives a large number of inhibitory synapses, [6] which can regulate the activity of these cells. It has also been shown that microglial processes constantly monitor neuronal functions through somatic junctions, and exert ...

  4. Brain cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_cell

    Neurons are polarised cells that are specialised for the conduction of action potentials also called nerve impulses. [1] They can also synthesise membrane and protein. Neurons communicate with other neurons using neurotransmitters released from their synapses, and they may be inhibitory, excitatory or neuromodulatory. [5]

  5. Multipolar neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipolar_neuron

    A multipolar neuron is a type of neuron that possesses a single axon and many dendrites (and dendritic branches), allowing for the integration of a great deal of information from other neurons. These processes are projections from the neuron cell body. Multipolar neurons constitute the majority of neurons in the central nervous system.

  6. Grey matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grey_matter

    Grey matter, or gray matter in American English, is a major component of the central nervous system, consisting of neuronal cell bodies, neuropil (dendrites and unmyelinated axons), glial cells (astrocytes and oligodendrocytes), synapses, and capillaries.

  7. Schwann cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwann_cell

    Schwann cells or neurolemmocytes (named after German physiologist Theodor Schwann) are the principal glia of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). Glial cells function to support neurons and in the PNS, also include satellite cells, olfactory ensheathing cells, enteric glia and glia that reside at sensory nerve endings, such as the Pacinian corpuscle.

  8. Nervous tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nervous_tissue

    It is composed of neurons, also known as nerve cells, which receive and transmit impulses to and from it , and neuroglia, also known as glial cells or glia, which assist the propagation of the nerve impulse as well as provide nutrients to the neurons. [1] Nervous tissue is made up of different types of neurons, all of which have an axon.

  9. Astrocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrocyte

    The switch of the nervous system: Based on the evidence listed below, it has been recently conjectured in, [37] that macro glia (and astrocytes in particular) act both as a lossy neurotransmitter capacitor and as the logical switch of the nervous system. I.e., macroglia either block or enable the propagation of the stimulus along the nervous ...
