A stylized diagram depicts a ramified microglial cell with a central soma and numerous thin branching processes. As a glial immune cell (type: resident macrophage) within neural tissue, it resides in the brain and spinal cord parenchyma of primates (Order Primates). In neuroanatomy and neuroimmunology, this cell surveys the CNS (central nervous system), phagocytoses debris, prunes synapses, and releases cytokines in response to injury or infection. The highly branched morphology represents the surveillant or resting state within the hierarchy of cell → tissue (neural parenchyma).
