- 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
- (glial) of or relating to neuroglia
- Glial cells, commonly called neuroglia or simply glia (Greek for "glue"), are non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for the brain's neurons. ...
- Glion is a village in the municipality of Montreux in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland. The village is located at 700 m.a.s.l., close to Lake Geneva.
- Gliosis is a proliferation of astrocytes in damaged areas of the central nervous system (CNS). This proliferation usually leads to the formation of a glial scar.
- The network of glial cells that supports nervous system tissue
- (glion [f]) glen, vale, creek, valley
- Specialized cells that nourish and support neurons.
- (glee' ah) Supportive tissue of the brain. There are three types of glial tissue: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia. Glial cells do not conduct electrical impulses, as opposed to neurons.
