Glial Cell
Cells within the central and peripheral nervous system that are not neurons, which serve to support and safeguard neuronal cells.
Oligodendrocyte
A type of glial cell in the central nervous system that produces myelin, a substance that insulates nerve fibers to enhance signal transmission.
Myelin Sheath
