This illustration depicts an astrocyte, a star-shaped glial cell in the brain and spinal cord. The cell body is depicted in pink with numerous branching processes extending outward. Astrocytes are vital in the central nervous system (CNS), playing roles in the maintenance of the blood-brain barrier, provision of nutrients, repair of the brain and spinal cord following traumatic injuries, and biochemical support of neurons. The entire cytoskeletal structure of the astrocyte is shown in detail, highlighting its complex morphology and extensive network.
