| What are the two functions of neuroglia | protects and insulates neurons, produces myelin sheath and regulates neuronal enviroment |
| What are the four main types of glial cells | astrocytes, oligodenroglia, microglia, ependymal |
| Two types of astrocytes | protoplasmic and fibrous |
| Oligodendroglia is | the glial cell that forms myelin |
| What is the function of astrocytes | To provide support, nourishment, and metabolic exchange |
| Microglia is | the glial cell that is a fixed phagocyte |
| What is the glial cell that is the most numerous and is located in the gray and white matter | Oligodendroglia |
| Ependymal is | the glial cell that is simple columnar epithelium |
