Neuroglia
neurons (which trasmit impulses) and glial cells which provide support and nutrition for the neurons.
The cells in the nervous system are called neurons. There are also accessory cells, which provide support to the neurons and are called glial cells, including oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, and schwann cells.

Glial cells, sometimes called neuroglia or simply glia are non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and provide support and protection for the brain's neurons.
