12 astrocytes star shaped: provide nutrients to neurons and form scar tissue if brain is injured Neuro Overview
13 Astrocytes most abundant and functionally diverse – 90% of tissue in some areas of the brain – starlike shape with many branches – cover brain surface and most non-synaptic neurons in grey matter of CNS – extensions called perivascular feet that contact the endothelial cells of blood capillaries and stimulate then to form tight junctions - contribute to blood-brain barrier. Convert blood glucose to lactate and give it as nourishment to neurons – secrete growth factors that promote hormone growth – regulate chemical composition of tissue fluid – form scar tissue where damage is (CNS) Anatomy Exam 2
