Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microglia are a type of neuroglia that act as phagocytes, engulfing and digesting cellular debris, pathogens, and dead cells in the nervous system. Oligodendroglia are responsible for producing myelin in the central nervous system, astroglia provide structural support and nutrition to neurons, and astrocytes regulate neurotransmitter concentrations and maintain the blood-brain barrier.
