Which of the following glial cells regulates the interstitial fluid environment around neurons?
A. ependymal cells
B. oligodendrocytes
C. astrocytes
D. Schwann cells
E. microglial cells
Answer (2)

Astrocytes are the glial cells that regulate the interstitial fluid environment around neurons, maintaining homeostasis and modulating synaptic activity. They are essential for providing support and nutrients to neurons. Other glial cells include ependymal cells, oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, and microglial cells, each performing specific functions within the nervous system. ;
