Glia cells.

  • Ependymal cells are ciliated to circulate cerebrospinal fluid.
  • Oligodendrocytes (in the CNS) and Schwann cells (in the PNS) form myelin sheaths around axons.
  • Microglia protect the nervous system from microorganisms.
  • Astrocytes perform many functions, helping to form a blood-brain barrier in the CNS.
