Neuroglia are helper cells in the nervous system. They produce products that help support and protect the neurons so they can do their work transmitting impulses, also called action potentials.
Neuroglia
The supportive tissue of the nervous system, including the network of branched cells in the central nervous system (astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes) and the supporting cells of the peripheral nervous system (neurilemma and satellite cells). Also called glia.

Neuralgia cells are sometimes called Ghilia cells. They are non neuronal and maintain homeostasis, protect and support the brain, its neurons as well as the peripheral nervous system. It's the job of these cells to surround and keep neurons in place. They insulate neurons and are the providers of both their nutrition as well as their oxygen. The cells serve as combo protector and janitor since they both destroy pathogens as well as clear away dead neurons.
Neuroglial cells have several main functions. These include supporting neurons, bringing nutrients and oxygen to neurons, insulating neurons, and protecting neurons from pathogens.
Neuroglia are also referred to as non-neuron cells that maintain the bodies homeostasis. In addition, neuroglia support and protect the neurons in the brain.
Neuroglial cells, the other major cell type in neural tissue, provide structural integrity to the nervous system
Neuroglia (glia) are cells that support and protect neurons.
Neuroglia (glia) are cells that support and protect neurons. An example of one that is found in the PNS are the Schwan's cells. They wrap around the axon and form a fatty sheath of myelin.
nerve tissue cell
neuroglia cells
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.

No, you're thinking of Neuroglia
Nerve tissue consists of nerve cells, nerve fibers, dendrites, and neuroglia. It is packed closely together and most are strongly branching. Its function are to regulate and control body processes.

Ciliated neuroglia are present in the central nervous system of animals. These neuroglia help move cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spine.

Neurons are conducting cells in the nervous system and neuroglia do not conduct, but are helper cells to the neurons.
