00:01 The six different types of glial cells are glial cells are first one astrocytes astrocytes they provide support and nourishment to the neurons regulating neurotransmitter levels and contribute to the blood brain barrier and the second is oligodendrocytes dendrocytes so they produce myelin a substance that insulates neural axons in the central nervous system and scavan scales scavan scavan cells so these scavan cells they produce myelin in the peripheral nervous system and support nerve regeneration and the fourth is microglia…
