MeSH Heading: Oligodendroglia
Tree Number(s): A08.637.600; A11.650.600
Unique ID: D009836
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D009836
Scope Note: A class of large neuroglial (macroglial) cells in the central nervous system. Oligodendroglia may be called interfascicular, perivascular, or perineuronal (not the same as SATELLITE CELLS, PERINEURONAL of GANGLIA) according to their location. They form the insulating MYELIN SHEATH of axons in the central nervous system.
Entry Term(s): Interfascicular Oligodendroglia; Oligodendrocytes; Perineuronal Oligodendroglia; Perineuronal Satellite Oligodendrocytes; Perineuronal Satellite Oligodendroglia Cells; Perivascular Oligodendroglia; Satellite Cells, Perineuronal, Oligodendroglia
