<u>Microglia cells </u>are glial cells that respond to injury or disease by multiplying, and then engulfing cellular debris or even entire cells.
<h3>Functions of microglia</h3>
Microglia cells are the immune cells of the central nervous system and consequently play important roles in brain infections and inflammation. Recent in vivo imaging studies have revealed that in the resting healthy brain, microglia are highly dynamic, moving constantly to actively survey the brain parenchyma.
These active microglia can rapidly respond to pathological insults, becoming activated to induce a range of effects that may contribute to both pathogenesis, or to confer neuronal protection.
However, interactions between microglia and neurons are being recognized as important in shaping neural circuit activity under more normal, physiological conditions. During development and neurogenesis, microglia interactions with neurons help to shape the final patterns of neural circuits important for behaviour and with implications for diseases.

Onsider the % dividing cells in normal lung, normal stomach, and normalovarian tissue.Why do you think there are more cells dividing in the stomach andovary tissue than in the lung tissue?The stomach has a high turn over of cells, because of the food, acid and churingassociated with it. Ovarian cells are constantly reproducing as part of themenstrual cycle.
