Nerve cells (neurons) of the CNS (i.e. the brain).
Microglia are the type of glia cells that turn into microbe-eating cells in inflamed brain tissue. They are the resident immune cells of the central nervous system and are responsible for detecting and removing pathogens in the brain.
Schwann cells are glia that myelinate the neurons of the Peripheral Nervous System
The two types of cells in the CNS are neurons and glia. There are many types of glia, including oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and microglia, each with different functions. In general, glia support neuronal function.
Non-conducting support cells of the nervous system or 'Neuroglial' cells represent a range of cells which function to maintain the nervous system. Some common ones are: Astrocytes envolved in providing nutrients and creating the blood-brain barrier Microglia are the immune cells of the nervous system Oligodendricytes and Schwann Cells produce the myelin sheaths which insulate the axons of neurons Ependymal cells secrete cerebrospinal fluid That's just a few
neuroglia (glial cells) - approx 9 glia per 1 neuron

Nervous tissue
Microglia and Macroglia In layman terms: Micro Glia cells are a small percentage of the glia in general about 10-15% or so. They are free roving within the brain and spinal column and seem to have a function in repairing damage. Glia cells percentage increases when neural damage is present. There are many sub-types of Macroglia cells. It would not be off to label the different types as cells comprising parts of the infrastructure of various defined objects in the brain and other neural tissue.
Glia cells that brace and anchor neurons to nutrient lines are ASTROCYTES
Brain
Schwann cells are glia that myelinate the neurons of the Peripheral Nervous System
The answer is nerons and glia.

The cell that makes up the brain and spinal cord is mainly the neuron (nerve cell). There are also other types of cells called glial cells, and within glial cells, there are astro glia, oligodendroglia and micro glia.
