At times only called Glial cells, the neuroglial cells are non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for the brain's neurons.

What is the smallest neuroglia of the cns?
microglia
What is the CNS neuroglia that move CSF?
Ependymal Cells
The most abundant neuroglia in the CNS?
astrocytes
What nervous system cell act as phagocytes within the central nervous system?
Both Macrophages and leukocytes act as phagocytes within the CNS
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.

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.

Both Macrophages and leukocytes act as phagocytes within the CNS

Astrocytes, Microglia, Ependymal cells, and Oligodendrocytes

What are the types of neuroglia?
There are 6 different types CNS: astrocytes, microglia, ependymal, and oligodendrocytes, PNS: satellite cells, and schwann cells
What acts as a shock absorber for cns?
Cerebrospinal fluid
