Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, provide support and protection for neurons in the nervous system. They help maintain the chemical environment in which neurons function and play a role in the formation and maintenance of synapses. One type of glial cell, called oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, produce myelin, a fatty substance that wraps around axons and helps to speed up the transmission of nerve impulses.
