Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glial cells, also known as glia or neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells in the central and peripheral nervous systems that do not conduct electrical impulses but instead support and nourish neurons, among other functions. They provide structural support, protection, and nutrition to neurons, maintain homeostasis, and participate in signal transmission in the nervous system.
