Ohlsen neurons and neuroglia

Most abundant neuroglia in the CNS

• astrocyte

• ependymal cells

• microglia

• oligodendrocyte

neuroglia that transfer oxygen and nutrients to the neurons from the blood vessels in the CNS; brace and anchor neurons to blood capillaries

• astrocytes

• edendymal cells

• microglia

• oligodendrocytes

neuroglia in the CNS that monitor the health of nearby neurons and clean up debris and pathogens through phagocytosis

• astrocytes

• ependymal cells

• microglia

• oligodendrocytes

ciliated neuroglia in the CNS that form epithelial-like membranes and form the inner lining to enclose spaces within the brain and spinal cord; contribute to the blood brain barrier

• astrocytes

• ependymal cells

• microglia

• oligodendrocytes
