Description
Fluorescence deconvolution micrograph of astrocyte cells from the olfactory bulb. Astrocytes are a type of glial cell. They provide structural support and protection for neurons (nerve cells) and also supply them with nutrients and oxygen. The olfactory bulb contains the olfactory receptors, which are responsible for the sense of smell.
