Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurolemmocytes, also known as Schwann cells, myelinate and insulate axons in the peripheral nervous system. Astrocytes provide structural support and nourishment to neurons in the central nervous system, ependymal cells line the ventricles of the brain and produce cerebrospinal fluid, microglial cells function in immune defense and removing cellular debris, and oligodendrocytes myelinate axons in the central nervous system.
