Microglial cell

Introduction.

Microglia are highly specialized cells of the nervous system that not only perform a protective function for the brain, but also play an important role in regulating its function. Microglial cells participate in the formation of neuronal synapses, control the flow of neurotransmitters, and also participate in the regulation of metabolic processes. One of the most striking examples is their ability to protect the brain from various damages and regulate the exchange of neurotransmitters in the brain. In this article we will consider the main aspects of the study of microglial cells and their role in the functioning of the nervous system.

Literature review.

A microglial cell consists of two main components: round-shaped cells with a diameter of 5-15 microns, called modified small glial cells, and
