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.
There two types of cells found in nervous tissue. These two types of cells include: neurons and neuroglial cells.
Only 10% of the cells in your brain are neurons. The rest of the cells in your brain are glial cells. Glial cells are ‘housekeeping cells’ clearing up dead neurons and foreign cells as well as waste to ensure that the signalling capacity of neurons is maintained (Hayden 2001). They also ensure the neurons stay in place.The word glial derives from the Greek word for glue.
Glial cells provide protection and support for the neurons. This is why they are called "the supporting cells" of the nervous system. They act as insulation and provide structure to surrounding neurons. Some protect the neurons from disease. Some can provide the insulation (white matter) along their axons, through differing mechanisms depending on the types. Astrocytes help regulate chemical environment and blood flow, schwann cells provide myelin sheaths (insulation) in the PNS, oligodendrocytes provide myelin sheaths in the CNS, and microglia act similarly to certain white blood cells.
CNS = Oligodendrocytes PNS = Schwann cells

They maintain homeostasis and provide support and protection to the brain's neurons.
Sertoli cells extend inward from the periphery of the seminiferous tubule and provide nourishment to the spermatids as they undergo spermiogenesis. They create a protected microenvironment for the development of sperm, secrete necessary nutrients and hormones, and play a crucial role in maintaining the blood-testis barrier.
