which are found primarily within the white matter, are believed to be concerned with metabolite transference and the repair of damaged tissue (scarring).
59
Protoplasmic astrocytes.
have thicker and more numerous branches. They are in close association with neurons and may partially envelop them; thus, they are known as satellite cells

glomeruli;
65
Difference in the endothelial cells of BV of the endoneurium and epineurium
The endothelial cells that make up epineurial vessels have cell junctions of the “open” variety, which allow extravasation of protein macromolecules. Endoneurial vessels, in contrast, have endothelial cells with tight junctions, which prevent the extravasation of proteins within the endoneurial space. These vessels, along with the perineurium, constitute the blood-nerve barrier.
66
Occasionally, myelin shows localized incomplete fusion of Schwann cell membrane, and small amounts of Schwann cell protoplasm may be found trapped between the membranes. These areas of incomplete fusion are called
Schmidt-Lanterman clefts
