Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Supporting cells in nervous tissue are called
A
neurons
B
neuroglia
C
myofibrils
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Neuroglial cells are the supporting cells of neurons. Neuroglial cells are the nonconducting cells that support cells in the nervous system and help protect neurons, and they also help the neurons make the right contacts during embryonic development, others insulate axons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glial Cells. Glial cells, or neuroglia or simply glia, are the other type of cell found in nervous tissue. They are considered to be supporting cells, and many functions are directed at helping neurons complete their function for communication.

Detailed explanation-3: -These are the glial cells (neuroglial cells), together termed the neuroglia. Supporting, or glia, cells bind neurons together and insulate the neurons. Some are phagocytic and protect against bacterial invasion, while others provide nutrients by binding blood vessels to the neurons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neuroglia are a large class of neural cells of ectodermal (astroglia, oligodendroglia, and peripheral glial cells) and mesodermal (microglia) origin. Neuroglial cells provide homeostatic support, protection, and defense to the nervous tissue.
