The document discusses the different types of neuroglial cells in the central and peripheral nervous systems. There are four major types of neuroglial cells in the central nervous system: astrocytes, ependymal cells, microglial cells, and oligodendrocytes. Astrocytes provide metabolic support to neurons and help form the blood-brain barrier. Oligodendrocytes myelinate axons to speed signal transmission. The peripheral nervous system contains Schwann cells, which myelinate axons similarly to oligodendrocytes. Neuroglial cells outnumber neurons and provide crucial support roles to ensure neuronal survival.
