Neuroglia
The type of nerve cells are called neuroglia.
No, a neuron is not a type of neuroglia. Neurons are the primary cells responsible for transmitting electrical signals in the nervous system, enabling communication between different parts of the body. Neuroglia, or glial cells, support and protect neurons, providing various functions such as insulation, nutrient supply, and maintenance of homeostasis. While both are essential for nervous system function, they serve distinct roles.
No, neuroglia do not transmit nerve impulses. Neuroglia are support cells of the nervous system that help to nourish, protect, and maintain the environment of neurons. Nerve impulses are transmitted by neurons.
Neurons release neurotransmitters, not neuroglia. Neuroglia, also known as glial cells, primarily support and protect neurons in various ways, but they do not release neurotransmitters like neurons do.
Neurons are conducting cells in the nervous system and neuroglia do not conduct, but are helper cells to the neurons.

The largest and most abundant type of neuroglia is the astrocyte. Astrocytes provide structural support to neurons, regulate the chemical environment around neurons, and contribute to the blood-brain barrier. They also play a crucial role in nutrient transfer and synaptic communication in the central nervous system.
Oligodendrocytes are the type of neuroglia in the CNS that secrete myelin. They wrap around axons to provide insulation and facilitate faster nerve signal conduction.
