The four types in the CNS are microglia, astrocytes, ependymal, and oligodendrocytes.
*microglia= phagocytes
*astrocytes= form the blood brain barrier
*ependymal= produce CSF (cerebral spinal fluid)
*oligodendrocytes= form the myelin sheath that wraps around the axon

∙ 12y agoThere are 6 types of neuroglia in the nervous system carrying out different functions.
In the CNS:
Astrocytes - Mainly support and protect neurones, responsible for memory
Microglia - Protect CNS against infections
Oligodendrocytes - Make up the myelin sheath of neurons
Ependymal cells - Form cerebospinal fluid
In the PNS:
Schwann cells - Form the myelin sheath and help to regenerate axons
Satellite cells - support neurons and regulate exchange of materials between neurons and interstitial fluid

Supporting cells found in the CNS are called neuroglia?
yes
Specialized supporting cells in the CNS?
The neuroglia ("nerve glue"), or glial cells, which in the CNS include Astrocytes, Ependymal cells, Microglia, and Oligodendrocytes.
What are two major types of cells that form nervous tissue?
First is the neuroglia, function is to support and protect the cells of the nervous system. Second is neurons, which are responsible for conducting nerve impulses from one part of the body to another.
Cell type found in nervous tissue?
There two types of cells found in nervous tissue. These two types of cells include: neurons and neuroglial cells.
What is the difference between neurons and neuroglia?
Neurons conduct electrical impulses in the brain. Neuroglia are cells that support the neurons. These cells undergo mitosis where neurons do not. Brain tumors are formed from neuroglia cells because they mitosis.
What are the four types of neuroglia in the CNS?
Astrocytes, Microglia, Ependymal cells, and Oligodendrocytes
What are specialized cells that do all the support activities for the nervous system?
Neuroglia are the supporting cells of the NS. There are four types in the central nervous system (CNS) and two types in the peripheral nervous system (PNS). They all have functions that contribute to the overall health of neuron cells.
What is the smallest neuroglia of the cns?
microglia
What are the types of neuroglia?
There are 6 different types CNS: astrocytes, microglia, ependymal, and oligodendrocytes, PNS: satellite cells, and schwann cells
What is the CNS neuroglia that move CSF?
Ependymal Cells
What is the general name for all support cells within the CNS?
Neuroglia
Supporting cells found in the CNS are called neuroglia?
yes
The most abundant neuroglia in the CNS?
astrocytes
Specialized supporting cells in the CNS?
The neuroglia ("nerve glue"), or glial cells, which in the CNS include Astrocytes, Ependymal cells, Microglia, and Oligodendrocytes.
Ciliated CNS neuroglia that play an active role in moving the cerebrospinal fluid?
Ciliated neuroglia are present in the central nervous system of animals. These neuroglia help move cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spine.
What are four types of neuralgia found in CNS?
astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocyte, & ependymal cells
Are neurons and neuroglia found in connective tissue?
No, there are four types of tissue; muscular, epithelial, connective and nervous tissue. Neurons are categorised in the nervous tissue.
