Difference between neuroglial and neuron
Dear student,
Neuroglial are the supporting cells of the neurons.
It provides mechanical and structural support to the nerve cells.
It supply nutrient, oxygen to neuron and provide electrical insulation through axon of the neuron.
It act as packaging medium between neurons.
Does not have nissal granules.
Do not have axon for impulse conduction.
Number of neuroglial is 5-10 times more than number of neurons.
In CNS-astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglial cells and ependymal cells.
In PNS- schwann cells and satellite cells
Neuron are the nerve cell responsible for the conduction of nerve impulse.
They have Nissal granules.
Have axon for nerve impulse conduction.
Human body has around 100 billion nerves cells.
Regards,
