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.
