glia in English

noun
1
the connective tissue of the nervous system, consisting of several different types of cell associated with neurons.
These factors play a pivotal role in brain development by direction the formation of neurons and supporting cells called glia from uncommitted progenitor cells.
noun
    neuroglia

4. The average adult human Brain contains approximately 100 billion neurons, and just as many—if not more—glia.

5. Likewise, the astrocytic changes described as “clasmatodendrosis” or “ameboid glia” have their counterpart in the electron microscope picture.

6. Human Schwann cells exhibit long-term cell survival, are not tumorigenic and promote repair when transplanted into the Contused spinal cord Glia

12. Several ion Conductances have been described in glial cells. The most studied ones are K+ channels which represent the most abundant conductance detected in glia and dominate all other ion Conductances. They have been assigned the main role of buffering increases in interstitial K + concentration resulting from neuronal excitation.

13. The Brains of all species are composed primarily of two broad classes of cells: neurons and glial cells.Glial cells (also known as glia or neuroglia) come in several types, and perform a number of critical functions, including structural support, metabolic support, insulation, and guidance of development.Neurons, however, are usually considered the most important cells in the brain.

14. Brain definition is - the portion of the vertebrate central nervous system enclosed in the skull and continuous with the spinal cord through the foramen magnum that is composed of neurons and supporting and nutritive structures (such as glia) and that integrates sensory information from inside and outside the body in controlling autonomic function (such as heartbeat and respiration), in
