Why are neuroglia sometimes called “nerve glue”?
The word “neuroglia” comes from two Greek words that together mean “nerve glue.” Neuroglial cells don’t actually glue anything to anything. When they were first discovered, scientists thought they served a binding purpose, thus their name.
'In much the same way as the movie stars on the screen are only a small fraction of the people involved in making a movie, the behind-the-scenes supporting members for the nervous system are the neuroglial cells.'
