What glial cells in the central nervous system derive from circulating monocytes?
Microglia
What protects and insulates nerve fibers?
That is not the fatty 'material'. They are Glial cells derived from the mesoderm. The nerve cells are derived from ectoderm. The neural cells do not divide and so cancer do not arise from them. The malignancy in brain usually arise from these glial cells.
What is the cells that support and nourish neurons called?
Glial Cells
What has neurons and glial cells?
The nervous system has both. The active cells which carry information are the neurons while the glial cells are the support cells.
What brain cells provide nutrients and insulating myelin?
Glial cells.

What cells provide nourishment and protection for the neurons?
Neuroglial cells support and protect the neurons in the central nervous system.
Why are glial cells referred to as the forgotten brain cells?
Glial cells do not conduct electrical impulses (as opposed to neurons, which do). The glial cells surround neurons and etc
Is it more common for brain tumors to arise from neurons or from glial cells?
Glial Cells
Is an ependymal cell a glial cell?
Yes. Glial cells are cells that "help and support" the neurons in various ways. Astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells (important for CSF) ect.. are all glial cells (search "glial cell" on wikipedia for more).

Cells providing support for nerve cells?
The Glial cells.
Supporting cells that insulate neurons and provide them with nutrients?
Glial cells
What percent of cells in the human body do glial cells account for?
