Una célula de la glía sostiene y protege a las neuronas. Mantienen las neuronas en su lugar, les aportan nutrientes y oxígeno, separan entre sí a las neuronas, eliminan patógenos y a las neuronas muertas.
Contents
Müller cell
One kind of retinal glial cell, the Müller cell, is of importance in transporting light from the surface of the retina to the photoreceptors. Vertebrate retinas have their photoreceptors at the back of the retina, with masses of neurons, blood vessels, and other cells between the photoreceptors and incoming photons. Müller cells act as fiberoptic light guides, allowing photons to pass through the retinal tissue relatively unimpeded.[1]
