Ependymal cells of the Central Nervous system
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.
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.
responsible for the lining of ventricular cavities (of brain). Other than the above-mentioned function, they also line the central canal of spinal cord. It is involved in the production of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
Cerebrospinal fluid is primarily formed by specialized cells called choroid plexus located within the ventricles of the brain. These cells produce and secrete the majority of the cerebrospinal fluid through a combination of filtration and active transport mechanisms.
Neuroglial cells, also known as glial cells, provide nourishment and protection for neurons. They support neurons by regulating their environment, insulating them, and assisting with their functions. Astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia are examples of neuroglial cells that play important roles in maintaining the health and function of neurons.

Cerebrospinal fluid is produced by modified epithelial cells in the thin membrane that lines the ventricular system of the brain and the spinal cord. These modified epithelial cells are named the ependyma. Each of the cerebral ventricles has an associated choroid plexus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_system) which produce and secrete cerebrospinal fluid. The cerebral ventricles are interconnected spaces within the brain that permit the fluid to circulate in a specific manner. (see http:/www.answers.com/topic/cerebrospinal-fluid?cat=health for an excellent diagram).
Schwann cells and satellite cells are neuroglial cells located in the PNS

"Ependymal cells"form a single layer of epithelial cells that line the CSF-filled ventricles (in the brain) and the central canal (of spinal cord). They are ciliated simple cuboidal epithelium.
Oligodendrocytes - specialized neuroglial cells that assist in production of the myelin sheath.

nervous tissue
The main cell types in nervous tissue are neurons and neuroglial cells. Neurons are responsible for transmitting electrical signals, while neuroglial cells support and protect neurons. Some examples of neuroglial cells include astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia.
