First of all, it should be noted that the nervous tissue is not a usual cluster
of neurons, but a harmonious integration of interactions between neurons
and glial cells that fill the free space. The parallel work of neurons coupled
with the functionality of glial cells allows for full brain function. It is known
that the number of such glial structures exceeds the number of neurons
many times, and the imbalance between the two links has the potential to
cause pathologies of the nervous system.
Due to the distinctive features of some glial cells, it was decided to divide
them into different subtypes, including ependymal cells, oligodendrocytes
and astrocytes, and microglia cells. The abundance of subspecies is
justified not only by the form and size of cells but also by their functionality.
In particular astrocytes have the star form expressed through a set of
branches that deviate from a body of a cell in different directions. While
some of the offshoots end up in neural contact, some of them are
integrated into the blood system. The main functions of astrocytes include
creating mechanical frame support for neurons, creating a
hematoencephalic barrier, maintaining trace element concentrations, and
participating in reparative processes after damage.
In contrast, oligodendrocytes are small oval-shaped cells with an
abundance of fine short cells that are in the grey and white matter around
the neurons. Among other issues, oligodendrocytes form myelin shells
around long axons and long dendrites. In other words, the primary function
of oligodendrocytes is to form an isolating layer for neurons. Microglial
cells are much smaller, have an uneven star shape, and short spurs. The
function of microglia is to protect neurons from inflammation and
infection.
Finally, ependymocytes are cells that divide the ventricles of the brain and
the central channel of the spinal cord by secreting cerebrospinal fluid. On
the surface of the cells, which are prismatically shaped, there are cilium
which, with their activity, promote the movement of cerebrospinal fluid. In
addition, the ependymocytes participate in the metabolism of the CSF and
the dissolution of substances in it.

participating in reparative processes after damage.
In contrast, oligodendrocytes are small oval-shaped cells with an
abundance of fine short cells that are in the grey and white matter around
the neurons. Among other issues, oligodendrocytes form myelin shells
around long axons and long dendrites. In other words, the primary function
of oligodendrocytes is to form an isolating layer for neurons. Microglial
cells are much smaller, have an uneven star shape, and short spurs. The
function of microglia is to protect neurons from inflammation and
infection.
Finally, ependymocytes are cells that divide the ventricles of the brain and
the central channel of the spinal cord by secreting cerebrospinal fluid. On
the surface of the cells, which are prismatically shaped, there are cilium
which, with their activity, promote the movement of cerebrospinal fluid. In
addition, the ependymocytes participate in the metabolism of the CSF and
the dissolution of substances in it.
First of all, it should be noted that the nervous tissue is not a usual cluster
of neurons, but a harmonious integration of interactions between neurons
and glial cells that fill the free space. The parallel work of neurons coupled
with the functionality of glial cells allows for full brain function. It is known
that the number of such glial structures exceeds the number of neurons
many times, and the imbalance between the two links has the potential to
cause pathologies of the nervous system.
Due to the distinctive features of some glial cells, it was decided to divide
them into different subtypes, including ependymal cells, oligodendrocytes
and astrocytes, and microglia cells. The abundance of subspecies is
justified not only by the form and size of cells but also by their functionality.
In particular astrocytes have the star form expressed through a set of
branches that deviate from a body of a cell in different directions. While
some of the offshoots end up in neural contact, some of them are
integrated into the blood system. The main functions of astrocytes include
creating mechanical frame support for neurons, creating a
hematoencephalic barrier, maintaining trace element concentrations, and
participating in reparative processes after damage.

with the functionality of glial cells allows for full brain function. It is known
that the number of such glial structures exceeds the number of neurons
many times, and the imbalance between the two links has the potential to
cause pathologies of the nervous system.
Due to the distinctive features of some glial cells, it was decided to divide
them into different subtypes, including ependymal cells, oligodendrocytes
and astrocytes, and microglia cells. The abundance of subspecies is
justified not only by the form and size of cells but also by their functionality.
In particular astrocytes have the star form expressed through a set of
branches that deviate from a body of a cell in different directions. While
some of the offshoots end up in neural contact, some of them are
integrated into the blood system. The main functions of astrocytes include
creating mechanical frame support for neurons, creating a
hematoencephalic barrier, maintaining trace element concentrations, and
participating in reparative processes after damage.
In contrast, oligodendrocytes are small oval-shaped cells with an
abundance of fine short cells that are in the grey and white matter around
the neurons. Among other issues, oligodendrocytes form myelin shells
around long axons and long dendrites. In other words, the primary function
of oligodendrocytes is to form an isolating layer for neurons. Microglial
cells are much smaller, have an uneven star shape, and short spurs. The
function of microglia is to protect neurons from inflammation and
infection.
Finally, ependymocytes are cells that divide the ventricles of the brain and
the central channel of the spinal cord by secreting cerebrospinal fluid. On
the surface of the cells, which are prismatically shaped, there are cilium
which, with their activity, promote the movement of cerebrospinal fluid. In
addition, the ependymocytes participate in the metabolism of the CSF and
the dissolution of substances in it.
First of all, it should be noted that the nervous tissue is not a usual cluster
of neurons, but a harmonious integration of interactions between neurons
and glial cells that fill the free space. The parallel work of neurons coupled

the neurons. Among other issues, oligodendrocytes form myelin shells
around long axons and long dendrites. In other words, the primary function
of oligodendrocytes is to form an isolating layer for neurons. Microglial
cells are much smaller, have an uneven star shape, and short spurs. The
function of microglia is to protect neurons from inflammation and
infection.
Finally, ependymocytes are cells that divide the ventricles of the brain and
the central channel of the spinal cord by secreting cerebrospinal fluid. On
the surface of the cells, which are prismatically shaped, there are cilium
which, with their activity, promote the movement of cerebrospinal fluid. In
addition, the ependymocytes participate in the metabolism of the CSF and
the dissolution of substances in it.
First of all, it should be noted that the nervous tissue is not a usual cluster
of neurons, but a harmonious integration of interactions between neurons
and glial cells that fill the free space. The parallel work of neurons coupled
with the functionality of glial cells allows for full brain function. It is known
that the number of such glial structures exceeds the number of neurons
many times, and the imbalance between the two links has the potential to
cause pathologies of the nervous system.
Due to the distinctive features of some glial cells, it was decided to divide
them into different subtypes, including ependymal cells, oligodendrocytes
and astrocytes, and microglia cells. The abundance of subspecies is
justified not only by the form and size of cells but also by their functionality.
In particular astrocytes have the star form expressed through a set of
branches that deviate from a body of a cell in different directions. While
some of the offshoots end up in neural contact, some of them are
integrated into the blood system. The main functions of astrocytes include
creating mechanical frame support for neurons, creating a
hematoencephalic barrier, maintaining trace element concentrations, and
participating in reparative processes after damage.

many times, and the imbalance between the two links has the potential to
cause pathologies of the nervous system.
Due to the distinctive features of some glial cells, it was decided to divide
them into different subtypes, including ependymal cells, oligodendrocytes
and astrocytes, and microglia cells. The abundance of subspecies is
justified not only by the form and size of cells but also by their functionality.
In particular astrocytes have the star form expressed through a set of
branches that deviate from a body of a cell in different directions. While
some of the offshoots end up in neural contact, some of them are
integrated into the blood system. The main functions of astrocytes include
creating mechanical frame support for neurons, creating a
hematoencephalic barrier, maintaining trace element concentrations, and
participating in reparative processes after damage.
In contrast, oligodendrocytes are small oval-shaped cells with an
abundance of fine short cells that are in the grey and white matter around
the neurons. Among other issues, oligodendrocytes form myelin shells
around long axons and long dendrites. In other words, the primary function
of oligodendrocytes is to form an isolating layer for neurons. Microglial
cells are much smaller, have an uneven star shape, and short spurs. The
function of microglia is to protect neurons from inflammation and
infection.
Finally, ependymocytes are cells that divide the ventricles of the brain and
the central channel of the spinal cord by secreting cerebrospinal fluid. On
the surface of the cells, which are prismatically shaped, there are cilium
which, with their activity, promote the movement of cerebrospinal fluid. In
addition, the ependymocytes participate in the metabolism of the CSF and
the dissolution of substances in it.
First of all, it should be noted that the nervous tissue is not a usual cluster
of neurons, but a harmonious integration of interactions between neurons
and glial cells that fill the free space. The parallel work of neurons coupled
with the functionality of glial cells allows for full brain function. It is known
that the number of such glial structures exceeds the number of neurons
many times, and the imbalance between the two links has the potential to
cause pathologies of the nervous system.

of oligodendrocytes is to form an isolating layer for neurons. Microglial
cells are much smaller, have an uneven star shape, and short spurs. The
function of microglia is to protect neurons from inflammation and
infection.
Finally, ependymocytes are cells that divide the ventricles of the brain and
the central channel of the spinal cord by secreting cerebrospinal fluid. On
the surface of the cells, which are prismatically shaped, there are cilium
which, with their activity, promote the movement of cerebrospinal fluid. In
addition, the ependymocytes participate in the metabolism of the CSF and
the dissolution of substances in it.
First of all, it should be noted that the nervous tissue is not a usual cluster
of neurons, but a harmonious integration of interactions between neurons
and glial cells that fill the free space. The parallel work of neurons coupled
with the functionality of glial cells allows for full brain function. It is known
that the number of such glial structures exceeds the number of neurons
many times, and the imbalance between the two links has the potential to
cause pathologies of the nervous system.
Due to the distinctive features of some glial cells, it was decided to divide
them into different subtypes, including ependymal cells, oligodendrocytes
and astrocytes, and microglia cells. The abundance of subspecies is
justified not only by the form and size of cells but also by their functionality.
In particular astrocytes have the star form expressed through a set of
branches that deviate from a body of a cell in different directions. While
some of the offshoots end up in neural contact, some of them are
integrated into the blood system. The main functions of astrocytes include
creating mechanical frame support for neurons, creating a
hematoencephalic barrier, maintaining trace element concentrations, and
participating in reparative processes after damage.
In contrast, oligodendrocytes are small oval-shaped cells with an
abundance of fine short cells that are in the grey and white matter around
the neurons. Among other issues, oligodendrocytes form myelin shells
around long axons and long dendrites. In other words, the primary function
of oligodendrocytes is to form an isolating layer for neurons. Microglial
cells are much smaller, have an uneven star shape, and short spurs. The

Due to the distinctive features of some glial cells, it was decided to divide
them into different subtypes, including ependymal cells, oligodendrocytes
and astrocytes, and microglia cells. The abundance of subspecies is
justified not only by the form and size of cells but also by their functionality.
In particular astrocytes have the star form expressed through a set of
branches that deviate from a body of a cell in different directions. While
some of the offshoots end up in neural contact, some of them are
integrated into the blood system. The main functions of astrocytes include
creating mechanical frame support for neurons, creating a
hematoencephalic barrier, maintaining trace element concentrations, and
participating in reparative processes after damage.
In contrast, oligodendrocytes are small oval-shaped cells with an
abundance of fine short cells that are in the grey and white matter around
the neurons. Among other issues, oligodendrocytes form myelin shells
around long axons and long dendrites. In other words, the primary function
of oligodendrocytes is to form an isolating layer for neurons. Microglial
cells are much smaller, have an uneven star shape, and short spurs. The
function of microglia is to protect neurons from inflammation and
infection.
Finally, ependymocytes are cells that divide the ventricles of the brain and
the central channel of the spinal cord by secreting cerebrospinal fluid. On
the surface of the cells, which are prismatically shaped, there are cilium
which, with their activity, promote the movement of cerebrospinal fluid. In
addition, the ependymocytes participate in the metabolism of the CSF and
the dissolution of substances in it.
First of all, it should be noted that the nervous tissue is not a usual cluster
of neurons, but a harmonious integration of interactions between neurons
and glial cells that fill the free space. The parallel work of neurons coupled
with the functionality of glial cells allows for full brain function. It is known
that the number of such glial structures exceeds the number of neurons
many times, and the imbalance between the two links has the potential to
cause pathologies of the nervous system.

function of microglia is to protect neurons from inflammation and
infection.
Finally, ependymocytes are cells that divide the ventricles of the brain and
the central channel of the spinal cord by secreting cerebrospinal fluid. On
the surface of the cells, which are prismatically shaped, there are cilium
which, with their activity, promote the movement of cerebrospinal fluid. In
addition, the ependymocytes participate in the metabolism of the CSF and
the dissolution of substances in it.
First of all, it should be noted that the nervous tissue is not a usual cluster
of neurons, but a harmonious integration of interactions between neurons
and glial cells that fill the free space. The parallel work of neurons coupled
with the functionality of glial cells allows for full brain function. It is known
that the number of such glial structures exceeds the number of neurons
many times, and the imbalance between the two links has the potential to
cause pathologies of the nervous system.
Due to the distinctive features of some glial cells, it was decided to divide
them into different subtypes, including ependymal cells, oligodendrocytes
and astrocytes, and microglia cells. The abundance of subspecies is
justified not only by the form and size of cells but also by their functionality.
In particular astrocytes have the star form expressed through a set of
branches that deviate from a body of a cell in different directions. While
some of the offshoots end up in neural contact, some of them are
integrated into the blood system. The main functions of astrocytes include
creating mechanical frame support for neurons, creating a
hematoencephalic barrier, maintaining trace element concentrations, and
participating in reparative processes after damage.
In contrast, oligodendrocytes are small oval-shaped cells with an
abundance of fine short cells that are in the grey and white matter around
the neurons. Among other issues, oligodendrocytes form myelin shells
around long axons and long dendrites. In other words, the primary function
of oligodendrocytes is to form an isolating layer for neurons. Microglial
cells are much smaller, have an uneven star shape, and short spurs. The

and astrocytes, and microglia cells. The abundance of subspecies is
justified not only by the form and size of cells but also by their functionality.
In particular astrocytes have the star form expressed through a set of
branches that deviate from a body of a cell in different directions. While
some of the offshoots end up in neural contact, some of them are
integrated into the blood system. The main functions of astrocytes include
creating mechanical frame support for neurons, creating a
hematoencephalic barrier, maintaining trace element concentrations, and
participating in reparative processes after damage.
In contrast, oligodendrocytes are small oval-shaped cells with an
abundance of fine short cells that are in the grey and white matter around
the neurons. Among other issues, oligodendrocytes form myelin shells
around long axons and long dendrites. In other words, the primary function
of oligodendrocytes is to form an isolating layer for neurons. Microglial
cells are much smaller, have an uneven star shape, and short spurs. The
function of microglia is to protect neurons from inflammation and
infection.
Finally, ependymocytes are cells that divide the ventricles of the brain and
the central channel of the spinal cord by secreting cerebrospinal fluid. On
the surface of the cells, which are prismatically shaped, there are cilium
which, with their activity, promote the movement of cerebrospinal fluid. In
addition, the ependymocytes participate in the metabolism of the CSF and
the dissolution of substances in it.
First of all, it should be noted that the nervous tissue is not a usual cluster
of neurons, but a harmonious integration of interactions between neurons
and glial cells that fill the free space. The parallel work of neurons coupled
with the functionality of glial cells allows for full brain function. It is known
that the number of such glial structures exceeds the number of neurons
many times, and the imbalance between the two links has the potential to
cause pathologies of the nervous system.

Finally, ependymocytes are cells that divide the ventricles of the brain and
the central channel of the spinal cord by secreting cerebrospinal fluid. On
the surface of the cells, which are prismatically shaped, there are cilium
which, with their activity, promote the movement of cerebrospinal fluid. In
addition, the ependymocytes participate in the metabolism of the CSF and
the dissolution of substances in it.
First of all, it should be noted that the nervous tissue is not a usual cluster
of neurons, but a harmonious integration of interactions between neurons
and glial cells that fill the free space. The parallel work of neurons coupled
with the functionality of glial cells allows for full brain function. It is known
that the number of such glial structures exceeds the number of neurons
many times, and the imbalance between the two links has the potential to
cause pathologies of the nervous system.
Due to the distinctive features of some glial cells, it was decided to divide
them into different subtypes, including ependymal cells, oligodendrocytes
and astrocytes, and microglia cells. The abundance of subspecies is
justified not only by the form and size of cells but also by their functionality.
In particular astrocytes have the star form expressed through a set of
branches that deviate from a body of a cell in different directions. While
some of the offshoots end up in neural contact, some of them are
integrated into the blood system. The main functions of astrocytes include
creating mechanical frame support for neurons, creating a
hematoencephalic barrier, maintaining trace element concentrations, and
participating in reparative processes after damage.
In contrast, oligodendrocytes are small oval-shaped cells with an
abundance of fine short cells that are in the grey and white matter around
the neurons. Among other issues, oligodendrocytes form myelin shells
around long axons and long dendrites. In other words, the primary function
of oligodendrocytes is to form an isolating layer for neurons. Microglial
cells are much smaller, have an uneven star shape, and short spurs. The
function of microglia is to protect neurons from inflammation and
infection.
Finally, ependymocytes are cells that divide the ventricles of the brain and
the central channel of the spinal cord by secreting cerebrospinal fluid. On
