Cells of nervous system
• Two types of cells:
• Neuron/ nerve cell
• Glial cells/ neuroglia
Glial cells
• Glial cells are connective tissue of nervous system
• Functions of glial cells
1. They form the extracellular matrix in which neurons are embedded.
2. They play metabolic and nutritive roles for neurons.
3. They may act as a sink or source of ions.
4. They insulate axons and synapses
5. They phagocytose neural debris.
• Types of glial cells- macroglia, microglia
• Types of macroglia- astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, schwann cells, ependyma
cells
Difference between Neuron & Neuroglia
Neuron Neuroglia
Conduct impulse in form of action potential Don't conduct impulse
Form synapses with other neurons Don't form synapses
Communicating function Supporting function
Highly differentiated cells, lost their ability to
divide
Have ability to divide
Oligodendrocytes
• Synthesize myelin sheath in CNS (brain & spinal cord)
• During brain development, oligodendrocyte send out a few
cytoplasmic processes that wrap around the adjacent axons and form
myelin around them.
• Myelin consists of a long sheet of oligodendrocyte plasma membrane,
which is spirally wrapped around an axonal segment.
• Importance of myelin sheath
• myelin sheath increase the impulse conduction velocity by 10- to
100-fold along axons with fairly minute diameters (saltatory
conduction)
Schwann cells
• Synthesize myelin sheath in PNS.
• Schwann cell growth factor secretion, debris removal by Schwann
cells after injury, and the axonal guidance function of the basal lamina
are responsible for the exceptional regenerative capacity of the PNS
compared with the CNS.
Astrocytes
• Star shaped cells
• Two forms- protoplasmic and fibrous astrocytes
• Protoplasmic astrocytes are found in gray matter and fibrous
astrocytes are found in white matter.
Functions of astrocytes
• End feet of astrocyte processes induce and maintain the tight junctions
in endothelial cells that effectively form the blood brain barrier.
• Induce angiogenesis
• Secrete nerve growth factors, extracellular matrix proteins and
adhesion molecules in CNS e.g. nerve cell–nerve cell adhesion
molecule (N-CAM), laminin, fibronectin. These help in the migration
of neurons and regulate the morphology, proliferation, differentiation,
or survival of neurons
• Reuptake and inactivation of neurotransmitters (e.g glutamate, GABA)
• posses variety of ion channels like K+ channel. K+ ions released from
neurons during neurotransmission are soaked up by astrocytes and
moved away from the area through astrocyte gap junctions. This is
known as spatial buffering.
• Detoxification of CNS
Ependyma cells
• Ependyma cells line the surfaces of the brain’s ventricles and central
canal of the spinal cord.
Microglia
• Smallest cells in CNS.
• Act as scavenger cells that reassemble the tissue macrophages.
• Microglia arise from macrophages outside of the nervous system and
are physiologically and embryologically unrelated to other neural cell
types.
Under resting condition,
microglia are ramified
Activated in response to
pathologic states to
reactive microglia.
Reactive microglia are characterized by
absence of branching pattern and
presence of lysosomes and phagosomes.
These active brain macrophages
which phagocytose
degenerating cells and undergo
programmed cell death.
Microglia- immune cells of CNS

Cells of the Nervous System- Glial cells I Macroglia and Microglia I Nervous System Physiology I

  • 1.
  • 2.
  • 3. Cells of nervous system • Two types of cells: • Neuron/ nerve cell • Glial cells/ neuroglia
  • 4. Glial cells • Glial cells are connective tissue of nervous system • Functions of glial cells 1. They form the extracellular matrix in which neurons are embedded. 2. They play metabolic and nutritive roles for neurons. 3. They may act as a sink or source of ions. 4. They insulate axons and synapses 5. They phagocytose neural debris. • Types of glial cells- macroglia, microglia • Types of macroglia- astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, schwann cells, ependyma cells
  • 5. Difference between Neuron & Neuroglia Neuron Neuroglia Conduct impulse in form of action potential Don't conduct impulse Form synapses with other neurons Don't form synapses Communicating function Supporting function Highly differentiated cells, lost their ability to divide Have ability to divide
  • 6. Oligodendrocytes • Synthesize myelin sheath in CNS (brain & spinal cord) • During brain development, oligodendrocyte send out a few cytoplasmic processes that wrap around the adjacent axons and form myelin around them. • Myelin consists of a long sheet of oligodendrocyte plasma membrane, which is spirally wrapped around an axonal segment. • Importance of myelin sheath • myelin sheath increase the impulse conduction velocity by 10- to 100-fold along axons with fairly minute diameters (saltatory conduction)
  • 7. Schwann cells • Synthesize myelin sheath in PNS. • Schwann cell growth factor secretion, debris removal by Schwann cells after injury, and the axonal guidance function of the basal lamina are responsible for the exceptional regenerative capacity of the PNS compared with the CNS.
  • 8. Astrocytes • Star shaped cells • Two forms- protoplasmic and fibrous astrocytes • Protoplasmic astrocytes are found in gray matter and fibrous astrocytes are found in white matter.
  • 9. Functions of astrocytes • End feet of astrocyte processes induce and maintain the tight junctions in endothelial cells that effectively form the blood brain barrier. • Induce angiogenesis • Secrete nerve growth factors, extracellular matrix proteins and adhesion molecules in CNS e.g. nerve cell–nerve cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM), laminin, fibronectin. These help in the migration of neurons and regulate the morphology, proliferation, differentiation, or survival of neurons • Reuptake and inactivation of neurotransmitters (e.g glutamate, GABA)
  • 10. • posses variety of ion channels like K+ channel. K+ ions released from neurons during neurotransmission are soaked up by astrocytes and moved away from the area through astrocyte gap junctions. This is known as spatial buffering. • Detoxification of CNS
  • 11. Ependyma cells • Ependyma cells line the surfaces of the brain’s ventricles and central canal of the spinal cord.
  • 12. Microglia • Smallest cells in CNS. • Act as scavenger cells that reassemble the tissue macrophages. • Microglia arise from macrophages outside of the nervous system and are physiologically and embryologically unrelated to other neural cell types.
  • 13. Under resting condition, microglia are ramified Activated in response to pathologic states to reactive microglia. Reactive microglia are characterized by absence of branching pattern and presence of lysosomes and phagosomes. These active brain macrophages which phagocytose degenerating cells and undergo programmed cell death. Microglia- immune cells of CNS
