Detailed explanation-1: -The word “neuroglia” means “nerve glue.” These cells are nonconductive and provide a support system for the neurons. They are a special type of “connective tissue” for the nervous system.
Detailed explanation-2: -Neuroglia are the other major type of nervous system cells. There are many types of neuroglia and they have many specific functions. In general, neuroglia function to support, protect, and nourish neurons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Neuroglia (supporting cells) : These are the supporting and non-conducting cells that provide a micro environment suitable for neuronal activity. Unlike neurons, they continue to divide throughout the life.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ependymal cells protect neurons by producing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Microglia protect neurons by removing debris from nervous tissue.
