Neuroglia, also called glial cell or glia, any of several types of cell that function primarily to support neurons. The term neuroglia means ânerve glue.â In 1907 Italian biologist Emilio Lugaro suggested that neuroglial cells exchange substances with the extracellular fluid and in this way exert control on the neuronal environment.
1 Neurons have TWO processes called axons and dendrites....glial cells have only ONE. 2  Neurons CAN generate action potentials...glial cells CANNOT. 3  However, glial cells do have a resting potential. 4  Neurons HAVE synapses that use neurotransmitters...glial cells do NOT have chemical synapses. However, glial cells do have a resting potential. 2  Neurons HAVE synapses that use neurotransmitters...glial cells do NOT have chemical synapses. 3  There are many MORE (10-50 times more) glial cells in the brain compared to the number of neurons.
