Schwann Cells

Schwann cells are a type of glial cell that wrap around nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system, forming the myelin sheath that helps in the rapid transmission of neural signals.

Glial Cells

Cells that provide support for the neurons to grow on and around, deliver nutrients to neurons, produce myelin to coat axons, clean up waste products and dead neurons, influence information processing, and, during prenatal development, influence the generation of new neurons.

Insulation

Material used to prevent the transfer of heat, electricity, or sound from one area to another, often used in building construction and the manufacturing of clothing and appliances.

Glial Cell

A type of cell in the nervous system that supports, nourishes, and protects neurons, playing a crucial role in brain function.
