The Heavy Lifting.....
a: Glial cell ~
b: the nursing staff
What: "Glial cells are like nurses. Neurons are like doctors. Sure, neurons are more qualified to get the electrical impulse to the post-synaptic cell because of their structure, but glial cells are doing 90% of the job by actually conducting the impulse. In other words, a hospital (your brain) will fail if its nurses (glia) aren't doing their jobs. Respect."
