Glia retain the ability to undergo cell division in adulthood, whereas most neurons cannot.
Neuroglia are more likely to give rise to tumors, as they have the capacity to divide and undergo abnormal growth. Neurons, on the other hand, are post-mitotic cells and do not typically give rise to tumors. Tumors arising from neuroglia are known as gliomas.
False
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.
Support: Neuroglia provide physical support and structural framework for neurons in the nervous system. Insulation: Neuroglia form myelin sheath around axons, which helps in insulating and increasing the speed of nerve impulse conduction. Nutrient supply: Neuroglia regulate the nutrient and ion levels in the extracellular space around neurons, ensuring they receive proper nutrition and maintain proper function.

Yes, They can go under Mitosis.

False
No, neuroglia do not transmit nerve impulses. Neuroglia are support cells of the nervous system that help to nourish, protect, and maintain the environment of neurons. Nerve impulses are transmitted by neurons.
Neurons release neurotransmitters, not neuroglia. Neuroglia, also known as glial cells, primarily support and protect neurons in various ways, but they do not release neurotransmitters like neurons do.
Neurons are conducting cells in the nervous system and neuroglia do not conduct, but are helper cells to the neurons.
