Definition that contains glial
- neuroglia sustentacular tissue that surrounds and supports neurons in the central nervous system; glial and neural cells together compose the tissue of the central nervous system
- astroglia tissue consisting of large stellate neuroglial cells
- oligodendria tissue consisting of glial cells with sheetlike processes that form the myelin sheath of nerve fibers
- glia sustentacular tissue that surrounds and supports neurons in the central nervous system; glial and neural cells together compose the tissue of the central nervous system
- macroglia tissue consisting of large stellate neuroglial cells
- oligodendroglia tissue consisting of glial cells with sheetlike processes that form the myelin sheath of nerve fibers
- microglia neuroglial tissue of mesodermal origin that can become phagocytic
- neuropil the complex network of unmyelinated axones, dendrites, and glial branches that form the bulk of the central nervous system's grey matter and in which nerve cell bodies are embedded
