What cells provide nourishment and protection for the neurons?
Neuroglial cells support and protect the neurons in the central nervous system.
Is it more common for brain tumors to arise from neurons or from glial cells?
Glial Cells
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
What the word glial means?
glue
Is glial cell are responsible for nourishing and helping to repair neurons?
Yes. The certain glial cells (schwann cells in PNS and oligodendrocyte in the CNS) insulates the neuron's by producing myelin which covers the axon to speed up the action potential.
What type of epithelial cell often had cilia?
Epithelia cells are the first cell type that differentiate in the embryo during the 8 cell stage. Epithelia are tissues that are formed by epithelial cells. These specialized cells are differ from others by the nature of avascular, sensory, gliding surface layer, tight barrier and differs from endothelial cells. They form the major cavities of the body. These cells form lungs, kidney, kidney, pancreas and so on. Epithelia act as sensory receptors, hence they form taste buds, nose, ear, female reproductive organs and so on.
What is the cells that support and nourish neurons called?
Glial Cells

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).
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
What the word glial means?
glue
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.
Malignant brain tumor of immature glial cells?
A glioblastoma (glio=glial cells, -blast=immature cell, oma=tumor, mass)
What do Gliomas attack?
Gliomas arise from glial tissue
What glial cells monitor the health of neurons?
Micrglia
Which substance is also known as nerve glue?
Glial cells
