neuroglial cell neuroglia |
| Definitions |
A non-neuronal cell of the nervous system. They not only provide physical support, but also respond to injury, regulate the ionic and chemical composition of the extracellular milieu. Guide neuronal migration during development, and exchange metabolites with neurons. Not all glial cells develop from glioblasts, with microglia developing from the mesoderm instead.
