Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microglia are specialized immune cells found in the central nervous system that act as phagocytes, engulfing and digesting cellular debris, damaged cells, and invading microorganisms. Astrocytes provide structural support and nourishment to neurons, ependymal cells line the ventricles of the brain and central canal of the spinal cord, oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the central nervous system, and Schwann cells produce myelin in the peripheral nervous system.
