Nerve cells, or neurons, are supported and nourished by glial cells, which include astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia. Astrocytes provide structural support, regulate the extracellular environment, and supply nutrients like glucose. Oligodendrocytes insulate neurons with myelin, enhancing signal transmission, while microglia serve as the immune defense in the nervous system. Together, these glial cells play a crucial role in maintaining neuronal health and function.

What are blood cells and nerve cells called?
Blood cells are called erythrocytes (red blood cells), leukocytes (white blood cells), and thrombocytes (platelets). Nerve cells are called neurons.
How do nerve cells differ from other body cells?
Nerve Cells are capable of transmitting [relaying] bio-information.
Are the cells that transmit sensory messages called nerve cells or muscle cells?
The cells that transmit sensory messages are called nerve cells or neurons. Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are responsible for contraction and movement.
What are some uses of proteins in cells?

Nerve cell does not conduct electricity?
Actually, nerve cells do conduct electricity through the movement of ions across their cell membrane. This allows them to transmit signals, known as action potentials, along their length to communicate with other nerve cells or other cells in the body.
What does cytoplasm do in inside nerve cells?
Cytoplasm in nerve cells supports the internal structure of the cell, and is the site where various cellular processes occur, such as protein synthesis and energy production. It also helps to transport nutrients, molecules and organelles within the cell.
What is a connector nerve?
Connector nerve cells connect the sensory nerve cells with motor nerve cells and allow for decision making.
