English term or phrase: glial cell process

A synapse has three components: the axon terminal of one cell, the dendrite of the receiving cell, and a glial cell process. The synaptic cleft is the space between these component parts.

xxx

A second population of cells called glial cells functions to support and protect the neurons. Glial cells, or glia, have shorter processes than neurons and outnumber neurons by a ratio of 10:1. The function of glia goes beyond a simple supporting role. They also participate in neuronal activity, provide the stem cell pool within the nervous system, and provide the immune response to inflammation and injury.
