Yes, neuroglia, or glial cells, are indeed more abundant than neurons in the central nervous system. Estimates suggest that there are about 10 to 50 times more glial cells than neurons, depending on the specific brain region. Neuroglia play essential roles in supporting, protecting, and maintaining neurons, as well as participating in various physiological processes. Their prevalence highlights their critical importance in the overall function of the nervous system.

What are the two types of nervous tissue?
neurons (brain cells) & neuroglia (support)---------------------------------------------------Multipolar Neurons (3+ processes) They are the most common neuron type in humans (more than 99% of neurons belong to this class) and the major neuron type in the CNS Bipolar Neurons Bipolar neurons are spindle-shaped, with a dendrite at one end and an axon at the other . An example can be found in the light-sensitive retina of the eye. Unipolar Neurons Sensory neurons have only a single process or fibre which divides close to the cell body into two main branches (axon and dendrite). Because of their structure they are often referred to as unipolar neurons.
What are the supporting cells of the nervous system?
glial cells (sometimes called neuroglia).In the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cellsform a myellin sheath around axons, and in the central nervous system, Oligodendrocytes do the same thing for the neurons there; and Astrocytes (Astroglia) surround brain neurons to hold them in place, provide nutrients and oxygen to them, insulate neurons from one another, destroy pathogens and remove dead neurons, and possibly in some ways modulate neurotransmission.
What is mean by abundant?
Abundant means well supplied, more than adequate.

Is hydrogen more abundant than oxygen in air?
No
Is it neurons that is more than 100 billion active in the brain?
Yes
Meaning of abundant?
plentiful as in Africa has abundant wildlife
What is the name given to reflexes that involve more than 2 neurons?
The name given to reflexes that involve more than 2 neurons is polysynaptic reflexes. These reflex arcs consist of multiple interneurons between the sensory and motor neurons, allowing for more complex and coordinated responses.
