astroglia
Astroglia, also known as astrocytes, are a type of non-neuronal glial cells in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) that perform multiple functions such as supporting neurons, maintaining the balance of ions, controlling the blood-brain barrier, removing excess neurotransmitters, and regulating tissue repair. Their name comes from the Greek word "astros" which means star, due to their star-like shape.
