Solution

Neuroglial cells:

  1. The neuroglial cells come from the developing embryo's ectodermal tissue.
  2. The non-neuronal cells of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system are known as glial cells.
  3. Glia cells emerge from the neural tube's ventricular zone.
  4. Oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells, and astrocytes are the cells that make up glia.
  5. Chemical synapse and transmitters are not present in glia cells.
  6. Neuroglial cells have the following functions:
    1. They keep the body in a state of equilibrium.
    2. They aid in the formation and repair of neurons.
    3. They eliminate infections and dead neurons.
    4. Neurons are nourished and oxygenated by them.
    5. Ensure that neurons are supported and protected.
