Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glial cells support neurons and maintain their environment. Glial cells of the (a) central nervous system include oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, and microglial cells. Oligodendrocytes form the myelin sheath around axons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glial (Neuroglial) cells do not conduct nerve impulses, but, instead, support, nourish, and protect the neurons.
