What are the four types of neuroglia in the CNS?

The four types of neuroglia in the central nervous system (CNS) are astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, and ependymal cells. Astrocytes provide structural support and regulate the chemical environment, oligodendrocytes produce myelin to insulate axons, microglia are the immune cells of the CNS, and ependymal cells line the ventricles and produce cerebrospinal fluid.


What types of glial cells line the central cavities of the brain and spinal cord where they help to circulate the cerebrospinal fluid?

The types of glial cells that line the central cavities of the brain and spinal cord are ependymal cells. These cells have cilia on their apical surface that help circulate the cerebrospinal fluid, which nourishes the brain and spinal cord while also helping to remove waste and maintain a stable environment.
