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.

Are bipolar neurons more abundant in adults than in children?
Bipolar neurons are not necessarily more abundant in adults than in children; rather, their presence is more related to specific functions in the nervous system than to age. These neurons are primarily found in sensory pathways, such as in the retina and olfactory system, and their numbers are relatively stable across different age groups. However, the overall neural architecture and connections can change as a person develops, potentially affecting how these neurons function rather than their abundance.
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.

Hematite is composed of oxygen and what element that is less abuyndant than aluminum but more abundant than calcium?
Hematite is composed of oxygen and iron, which is less abundant than aluminum but more abundant than calcium in Earth's crust.

As it ids an average the more abundant will have a greater net effect than the least abundant.
