Solution
The correct option is B Astrocytes
- Glial cells are also called neuroglia which are non-neuronal cells that surround the neurons and provide support and insulation. These cells maintain homeostasis.
- The glial cells are of a number of types, which include oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, ependymal cells, schwann cells, microglia, and satellite cells.
- However, astrocytes have numerous projections that link neurons to their blood supply and forms the blood-brain barrier. They are also responsible for the repair of damaged areas of nervous tissue.
