Glial cell: A supportive cell in the central nervous system. Unlike neurons, glial cells do not conduct electrical impulses.
Glioma is a type of tumor that occurs in the brain and spinal cord. Gliomas begin in the gluey supportive cells (glial cells) that surround nerve cells and help them function. Three types of glial cells can produce tumors. Gliomas are classified according to the type of glial cell involved in the tumor. Types of glioma include: 1  Astrocytomas, including astrocytoma, anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma. 2  Ependymomas, including anaplastic ependymoma, myxopapillary ependymoma and subependymoma.
