1. Glia

   Glia, also called glial cells (gliocytes) or neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system that do not produce electrical impulses. They maintain homeostasis, form myelin in the peripheral nervous system, and provide support and protection for neurons. In the central nervous system, glial cells include oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, and microglia, and in the peripheral nervous system they include Schwann cells and satellite cells.

1. glia

   Glia, also known as glial cells, are non-neuronal cells in the central and peripheral nervous system that support and protect neurons. They provide nutrients to neurons, clean up cellular debris, maintain the balance of ions, and insulate one neuron from another to help transmit electrical signals efficiently. They are crucial for healthy brain function.
