Difference between Muller glia and Neuroglia

Muller glia vs. Neuroglia

Müller glia, or Müller cells, are a type of retinal glial cells, first recognized and described by Heinrich Müller. Neuroglia, also called glial cells or simply glia, are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system.

Similarities between Muller glia and Neuroglia

Muller glia and Neuroglia have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Axon, Central nervous system, Gliosis, Neural crest, Neuron, Neurotransmitter, Radial glial cell, Synapse, Synaptogenesis.

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

Central nervous system

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord.

Gliosis

Gliosis is a nonspecific reactive change of glial cells in response to damage to the central nervous system (CNS).

Neural crest

Neural crest cells are a temporary group of cells unique to chordates of the group Cristozoa that arise from the embryonic ectoderm cell layer, and in turn give rise to a diverse cell lineage—including melanocytes, craniofacial cartilage and bone, smooth muscle, peripheral and enteric neurons and glia.

Neuron

A neuron, also known as a neurone (British spelling) and nerve cell, is an electrically excitable cell that receives, processes, and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.

Neurotransmitter

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that enable neurotransmission.

Radial glial cell

Radial glial cells are bipolar-shaped cells that span the width of the cortex in the developing vertebrate central nervous system (CNS) and serve as primary progenitor cells capable of generating neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes.

Synapse

In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target efferent cell.

Synaptogenesis

Synaptogenesis is the formation of synapses between neurons in the nervous system.

Muller glia and Neuroglia Comparison

Muller glia has 36 relations, while Neuroglia has 89. As they have in common 9, the Jaccard index is 7.20% = 9 / (36 + 89).
