| glia |
the cells that are supporting elements in the nervous system; specialized forms of these cells play important roles in the reaction of the nervous system to injury or infection and the production of myelin.

| glia |
Cells in the brain and nervous system that support the neurons. The four main functions of glial cells are: to surround neurons and hold them in place, to supply nutrients and oxygen to neurons, to insulate one neuron from another (with a protein called myelin), and to destroy and remove the carcasses of dead neurons. Glial cells include astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, satellite cells and Schwann cells.

outnumber Neurons by about five to one in the Nervous System, they have processes but do not form or conduct Action Potentials, and retain the capacity to divide throughout life. The following are Glia Cell types and their known functions: Astrocyte Cells - are of two types, depending on number and degree of branching of their Processes: Fibrous Astrocytes - have fewer and Less branched Processes ProtoPlasmic (Mossy) Astrocytes - have more and Highly branched Processes

Scars that are produced by enlargement of Astrocyte processes. When a portion of the CNS is damaged (Neuron or Axon), Astrocyte processes enlarge and replace the damaged tissue. This process is referred to as Gliosis, while the resulting permanent scar tissue is called Plaque (Sclerosis). GlucoCorticoid Hormones (Steroids) - Hormones that are produced by the Adrenal Glands in response to stimulation by AdrenoCorticoTropic Hormone (ACTH) from the Pituitary Gland.
