enteric

type of glial cell that is located in axons of the PNS - myelination and phagocytosis

Schwann Cells

type of glial cell in the PNS found in the ganglia - regulates chemical environment

Satellite cells

type of glial cell found in gray matter of CNS - nutrient delivery, blood brain barrier function

type of glial cell in white matter of CNS - repair

fibrous

type of glial cell in retina of CNS - repair

Muller cells

type of glial cell in cerebellum of CNS -synaptic plasticity

Bergmann glial cells

glial cell found in white matter (some in gray matter) in CNS - myelination

oligodendrocytes

glial cell throughout the CNS - response to trauma/damage

microglia

glial cell found in ventricles of the CNS - regulates exchange between cerebrospinal fluid and brain extracellular fluid

ependymal cells

NT released by postganglionic parasympathetic nerves and acts on the muscarinic receptors
