The neuroglia cells are some- 14 DISEASES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. times known as spider cells. They differ somewhat in size andshape, but not in general characteristics. The cell body is composedof granular protoplasm, lying in which is a large nucleus, withinwhich is the nucleolus. The body of the cell is small in amount inproportion to the nucleus. The fibrillary processes form a felt-likenetwork, and in regions where there is much neuroglia tissue thislooks like a homogeneous matrix. It is, however, made up of thefine fibrils. These connect with the Avails of the
