glial cell
A glial cell, also known as a glia or neuroglia, is one of the types of cells found in the nervous system. Its primary role is to support and protect neurons, as well as assist in the transmission of information. Glial cells provide neurons with nutrients, clean the neuronal environment by removing dead neurons and debris, aid in repair and wound healing, and regulate the fluid around neurons. They outnumber neurons by more than 10 to 1 and are critical for maintaining the health of the nervous system.
