Glial are cells that are not neuronal and maintain homeostasis and provide support and protection to neurons in brain and other parts of body.
There are different types of glial cell and satellite cells are one of them.
The surface of cell bodies is covered by Satellite cells in sensory, sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia that provide protection and support to neurons i.e. by providing the nutrients.
A lot of receptors are expressed by them for neurotransmitters and have intertwined processes that link them with other parts of the neuron
