∙ 14y agoTogether, neurons and neuroglial cells make up our nervous tissue like our brain. The neurons are what we would call our brain cells as they do all of the brains work. The glial cells help and support the neurons by insulating, bathing, feeding, and cleaning up after them. There are four types of glial cells: Astrocytes, Oligodendrocytes, Microglia, and Ependymal cells.

Are nerve cells are also called neurotics?
A nerve cell cannot also be called a neuroglial cell. A neuroglial cell is a cell that has a primary function of supporting neurons.
What cells provide nourishment and protection for the neurons?
Neuroglial cells support and protect the neurons in the central nervous system.
Examples of neuroglial cell?
Another name for neuroglial cell is glia cells, or supporting cells. Here are some examples. There are three types of glial cells in the mature central nervous system: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglial.The supporting cells of the Peripheral Nervous System are known as Schwann Cells.
This muscle type has interlocking cells for more efficient contraction?
neuroglial
What are the type of Cells of neural tissue that support the tissue called?
Nervous tissue is composed of neurons and supporting cells called neuroglial. The neuroglial are unspecialized cells and are able to perform supporting functions unlike the neurons which are used in key functions.
What neuroglial cell is located in the peripheral nervous system?
Schwann cells and satellite cells are neuroglial cells located in the PNS
Is a oligodendrocye a neuroglial cell is a phagocyte?
Oligodendrocytes - specialized neuroglial cells that assist in production of the myelin sheath.
What type of cells is the brain made up of?
neurons or neuroglial cells
Are nerve cells are also called neurotics?

What cells provide nourishment and protection for the neurons?
Neuroglial cells support and protect the neurons in the central nervous system.
Neuroglial cells that are star-shaped are called?
Astrocytes
What muscle contains neurons and neuroglial cells?
nervous tissue
What type of neuroglial cells provide support and nutrition to sensory ganglia in the PNS?
satellite cells
Small neuroglial cells that are important for immune protection are known as?
Microglia
What are Neuroglial cells that engulf and destroy invaders in the nervous system?
microglia

ARE Neuroglial cells larger than neurons?
Actually not, much smaller, in fact.
