The two types of glial cells in the PNS are: Schwanncells Satellite cells1 What Makes Up the Peripheral Nervous System? Astrocytes The most common type of glial cell in the CNS is theastrocyteorastroglia. The "astro" part of the name is because the cells have projections that make them l...
Glial cells were first discovered in 1838 by Robert Remak. He discovered Schwann cells (named after Theodor Schwann, who confirmed Remak’s discovery), which are a type of glial cell that covers the neuron’s long axon. After this initial breakthrough, numerous other glial cells were uncovered...
We have demonstrated the presence of at least two distinct populations of glial cells within the Drosophila antenna. GH146-glial cells originate in the brain and migrate to the antenna along the newly formed olfactory axons. The number of cells populating the third segment of the antenna is regu...

Astrocytes belong to the 3 types of glial cells in the CNS (the others are microglia and oligodendrocytes). Astroglia is used as a synonym. These cell exhibt usually a star-shaped mmorphology, with many processes extending from the soma. Astrocytes can be identified histologically since they ...
Which type of glial cell forms the myelin sheath around axons in the PNS? a. Astrocytes b. Satellite cells c. Microglia d. Oligodendrocytes e. Schwann cells The nervous system communicates through impulses called action potentials (AP) that o...
Here are some of the types of tumors and a little about each of them: Astrocytomas These grow in star-shaped cells called astrocytes in thebrainand spinal cord. They belong to a group of tumors called gliomas. All gliomas grow from “glial cells,” which support and protect your nerve fib...
