Tax deferred investments not only help investors avoid cash outflows for taxes in the immediate future, but they can help investors generate higher returns. That's because the money that would normally be used for tax payments is instead allowed to remain in the account and earn a return.
Glial cell: A supportive cell in the central nervous system. Unlike neurons, glial cells do not conduct electrical impulses.
Like neurons, glial cells are composed of cell bodies and cell processes. (Note: Glial processes are visible only in special stained preparations, such as a Golgi stain.) Three major types of neuroglial cells are recognized in the central nervous system: (a) astrocytes -- provide structural support for the CNS.; (b) oligodendroglia -- form myelin in the CNS, and. (c) microglia -- serve as a macrophage in the CNS.
