Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Satellite cells are a type of neuroglia that surround cell bodies in peripheral ganglia and regulate the continuous exchange of nutrients and waste products between neurons and their environment. Schwann cells form the myelin sheath around axons in the peripheral nervous system, microglia are immune cells in the central nervous system, and astrocytes provide structural and metabolic support to neurons in the central nervous system.
