Question

what is the main function of the neuroglia cells

Answer 1

The neuroglia are a diverse class of cells that provide developmental,psychological,and metabolic support for neurons.They are responsible for maintaining homeostatic control and immune surveillance in the nervous system.Glia are thought to play an important role in generating the sickness behavior evoked by systematic inflammation.Both directly and via their influence on the brain vasulature,they limit the harmful effects of systemic disturbance,stress,or inflammation on central nervous system function.Their response to injury helps to reduce damage,although it can also limit subsequent regeneration.There is also evidence that the combination of a persisting glial response to past brain damage and current systemic inflammation may lead to neurodegeneration.
