Neuroglia

1: Astrocytes

Largest and most numerous type

Reacts to Cellular debris and foreign material

Fluid-filled cavity of CNS

Holds nerve fibres together

2: Microglia

Produce myelin sheath that surround neruron

Forms a sheath around PNS neurons called nuerilemma

Largest and most numerous cell

Reacts to cellular debris and foreign material

3: Ependymal Cells

Transfers nutrients from blood to neurons

Fluid-filled cavitie of CNS and also produce the fluid

Holds nerve fibres together

Neither

4: Oligodendrocytes

Holds nerve fibres together

Same function in PNS

Largest cell in the body

Smallest cell in the body

5: Schwann Cells

Reacts to cellular debris and foreign material

Holds nerve fibres together

Forms a sheath around PNS neurons called nuerilemma

Neither
