Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microglia are specialized immune cells in the nervous system that act as the primary immune defense against invading microorganisms and also remove waste products, including dead and damaged neurons. Astrocytes are another type of glial cell in the nervous system that provide structural and metabolic support to neurons, but they do not directly remove waste products. Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells are responsible for producing myelin, which insulates axons in the nervous system, but they do not remove waste products.
