microglia


mi·cro·gli·a

M0273725 (mī′krō-glē′ə, -glī′-)pl.n. Small neuroglial cells of the central nervous system that have long processes and act as phagocytes at sites of neural damage or inflammation, destroying pathogens and damaged cells.
mi′cro·gli′al adj.

microglia

(ˌmaɪkrəʊˈɡlɪə) n (Anatomy) one of the two types of non-nervous tissue (glia) found in the central nervous system, having macrophage activity. Compare macroglia

Microglia


microglia

[mī′kräg·lē·ə] (neuroscience) Small neuroglia cells of the central nervous system having long processes and exhibiting ameboid and phagocytic activity under certain pathologic conditions.

Microglia

 

mesoglia, small rounded cells in the central nervous system.

Microglia develop from cells of connective tissue and constitute about 10 percent of the total number of cells of the neuroglia. Each microglial cell is connected by branching processes with the neuron-neuroglia system and the brain capillaries. The number and size of the microglial cells increase with infections, intoxications, or brain edema. The cells perform a phagocytic role, removing necrotic sections of nerve tissue.

microglia


microglia

 [mi-krog´le-ah] non-neural cells forming part of the adventitial structure of the central nervous system. They are migratory and act as phagocytes of waste products of the nervous system. adj., adj microg´lial.

(mī-krog'lē-ă), This word is grammatically singular. Avoid the mispronunciation microgli'a.Small neuroglial cells of the central nervous system, originating in the bone marrow, that may become phagocytic in areas of neural damage or inflammation. Synonym(s): Hortega cells, microglia cells, microglial cells [micro- + G. glia, glue]

microglia

(mī′krō-glē′ə, -glī′-)n. (used with a pl. verb) Any of the small neuroglial cells of the central nervous system having long processes and amoeboid and phagocytic activity at sites of neural damage or inflammation.

microglial cell

A perivascular bone-marrow-derived cell native to the CNS, belonging to the mononuclear phagocytic system (e.g., monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and granulocytes), which presents antigens in an MHC-class-II restricted context.

mi·crog·li·a

(mī-krog'lē-ă) Small neuroglial cells, possibly of mesodermal origin, which may become phagocytic, in areas of neural damage or inflammation.
Synonym(s): Hortega cells.

MICROGLIA

microglia

(mi-krog'le-a) [? + glia, glue] Cells of the central nervous system (CNS) present between neurons or next to capillaries. These cells may function as macrophages when they migrate to damaged CNS tissue. See: gitter cell; illustration

microglia

Neurological connective tissue MACROPHAGES. Compare MACROGLIA.
