protoplasmic astrocyte

73
Q

type of astrocyte that is found in the white matter and is myelinated

A

fibrous astrocyte

74
Q

Are rather ubiquitous structural support cells (a connective tissue-like function). Found sandwhiched between blood Bessel capillaries and neuron cell bodies. Said to be apart of the BBB. Suspected to store what little excess glucose can be held by the CNS tissue. Play a dominant role in forming “scar-like” tissue following CNS injury.
