Oligodendroglia
Interfascicular Oligodendroglia | Oligodendrocytes | Perineuronal Oligodendroglia | Perineuronal Satellite Oligodendroglia Cells | Perivascular Oligodendroglia | Satellite Cells, Perineuronal, Oligodendroglia | Oligodendrocyte
A class of large neuroglial (macroglial) cells in the central nervous system. Oligodendroglia may be called interfascicular, perivascular, or perineuronal (not the same as SATELLITE CELLS, PERINEURONAL of GANGLIA) according to their location. They form the insulating MYELIN SHEATH of axons in the central nervous system. |
