In this anatomy tutorial we look at the different types of glial cells in the central and peripheral nervous system.
The following structures are discussed: – astrocytes, vascular foot process
– oligodendrocytes, myelin/myelination,
– microglial cell
– ependymal cells, cilia, brain ventricles, choroid plexus, cerebrospinal fluid
– Schwann cells
– Satellite cells, sensory and autonomic ganglia
