Astrocyte – this is also known as astro glial cells. It is shaped like a star and are the most abundant cells in the central nervous tissue. It is also used for synaptic support and guides axons. it plays a role in blood brain barriers and blood flow. It protects the brain from toxic substances and make sure that there is optimal functioning. Furthermore, it plays a role in energy metabolism and reaction to injury.
Cerebellum – “little brain”; it is located neat the brain stem and is considered a major part of the hindbrain. It functions in the coordination of your movements. It also plays a role in your balance and posture. If you drink alcohol, this part is most affected. Thus, drinking causes you to lose your balance easily. Furthermore, it functions in eye movements, speech and other functions that require coordination.
Ganglion – it has an oval appearance. This is seen in clusters and found in the peripheral nervous system. They serve as carriers of nerve signals to and from the central nervous system. With this, they serve as the bidge for PNS and CNS
Ganglia have two types:
Sensory ganglia – found in Dorsal roots of spinal nerves. It is also found in the roots of some cranial nerves
Motor ganglia – found in the spinal cord and internal organs.
