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 structure supports and connects cells of nervous system?
The structure that supports and connects cells of the nervous system is called glial cells, or neuroglia. These cells provide structural support, protection, and nourishment to neurons, facilitating communication and maintaining homeostasis within the nervous system. Glial cells include astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, and Schwann cells, each playing specific roles in maintaining the health and function of neural tissues.
What kind of cells are found in the nervous system?
The nervous system is made of these kinds of cells... -smooth muscle cells -nerve cells
What does the peripheral system do?
Peripheral System is a division of the Nervous System. They have 2 types of cells. The sensory nervous cells carry information to the central nervous system; and the motor nervous cells carry information from the central nervous system. The Peripheral System is also divided into the somatic nervous system (controls the voluntary muscles) and the automatic nervous system (controls involuntary muscles).

What cells are involved in most nervous system tumors?
the cells involved in most nervous system tumors are called
What are groups of nerve cells that control the nervous system?
Groups of nerve cells that control the nervous system are called nuclei in the central nervous system and ganglia in the peripheral nervous system. These clusters of nerve cells work together to regulate various functions such as movement, sensation, and organ functions.
What forms myelin sheath?
The glial cells: oligodendrocytes for central nervous system and schwann cells for peripheral nervous system.
What nervous system cells act as phagocytes within the central nervous system?
neuroblasts
How are the nervous systems and endocrine the system different?
The endocrine system affects cells with certain receptors . The nervous system can affect only nearby cells

The peripherral nervous system has sensory nerve cells and motor nerve cells?
Yes, the peripheral nervous system consists of sensory nerve cells that transmit sensory information from the body to the central nervous system, and motor nerve cells that transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands to elicit a response.
