<P> Neuroglia , also called glial cells , or simply glia are non-neuronal cells that maintain homeostasis , form myelin , and provide support and protection for neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems . In the central nervous system , glial cells include oligodendrocytes , astrocytes , ependymal cells and microglia , and in the peripheral nervous system glial cells include Schwann cells and satellite cells . The term derives from Greek γλία and γλοία `` glue '' ; pronounced in English as either / ˈɡliːə / or / ˈɡlaɪə / </P>
