Gliosis [gliosis; Greek glia - glue + -ōsis (word-form. suffix) - disease] - growth of astrocytic neuroglia, accompanied by hyperproduction of glial fibers, is a process of its replacement hyperplasia (an increase in the number of structural elements) in response to the death of nervous tissue.
Types of gliosis:
anisomorphic (anisomorpha) - characterized by a chaotic arrangement of growing glial fibers;
fibrous (fibrosa) - in which the formation of glial fibers is more pronounced in comparison with the cellular elements of glia;
diffuse (diffusa) - spreading to large areas of the spinal cord or brain;
isomorphic (isomorpha) - characterized by the relatively correct placement of growing glial fibers;
marginal (marginalis) - expressed mainly in the intrathecal areas of the brain;
perivascular (perivascularis; Greek peri - around + Latin vasculum, diminutive of vas - vessel) - located around sclerosed and / or inflamed vessels;
subependymal (subependymalis; Latin sub - under + Greek ependyma - outerwear) - located in the areas of the brain located under the ependyma.

Nitrogen (Nitrogenium; N; Greek a - negative part + zoe - life) is a chemical element of group V of the periodic system of D. I. Mendeleev with an atomic mass (weight) of 14.007; atomic number - 7. In living organisms, nitrogen is part of proteins and their derivatives. In molecular form (N2), it is a gas that makes up 78% of the volume of the earth's atmosphere
Azotemia (azotaeimia; Greek a- - negative part + zoe - life + Greek haima - blood; synonym: hyperazotemia) - excess content of nitrogen-containing protein metabolism products in the blood
Gliosis is a mechanism for replacing damaged neuronal tissues with glial cells, which grow and eliminate lesions, as well as protect intact tissues. Glia cells are divided into the following types by the nature of growth and localization: anisomorphic, fibrous, diffuse, isomorphic, marginal, perivascular, subependymal
Medical area - a territorial unit with a certain number of residents or employees and workers united according to the production principle, which is assigned to a specific doctor of the polyclinic in order to provide medical care, study the state of health and carry out preventive measures
