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.
