Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Neuroglial cells are the non-neuronal cells that support and protect the neurons. They do not participate in the conduction of nerve impulses and hence they do not form synapses. They are of 4 types viz., astrocytes, Schwann cells, oligodendrocytes and microglia.
