Neurons are (also known as nerve cells) are cells of the nervous system that are specialized to carry messages through an electrochemical process. Astrocytes (also known as astroglia) are a type of neuroglial cell that provides support functions in the central nervous tissue and spinal cord. They perform a variety of tasks, from axon guidance and synaptic support, to the control of the blood brain barrier and blood flow.
