Preferred Label : oligodendroglia;
MeSH definition : 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.;
MeSH synonym : oligodendrocytes; oligodendrocyte;
