They are also commonly known as neuroglia and even more simply glia. In more detailed terms, neuroglia are cells in your nervous system that are not neurons. Their role is to be the support team and cheerleaders for the neurons. The neuroglia: Form myelin, which wraps around axons to speed up electric impulse conduction ; Provide nutrients to your neurons, including oxygen ; Destroy pathogens ; Provide a general support structure on which neurons can sit ; In this lesson, we will focus on the neuroglia located in your central nervous system.
A nerve cell, or neuron, is the basic unit of the nervous system. It transmits information to and from the brain. The structure of a neuron allows the transmission to be quick.1  The Structure & Function of Muscle Cells.2  What Is the Function of Blood Cells?erve cells consist of a cell body, axon and dendrites. The cell body contains the nucleus and other cellular compartments. The axon is long and surrounded by a layer of fat. The dendrites are branches from the cell body.
