Astrocytes - Wound tightly around blood vessels, and regulate the exchange of substances between brain neurons and capillaries

Microglia - Motile, undergoes phagocytic action, which is that they destroy impaired or foreign cells through the specialized immune defense

Oligodendrocytes - Their cell bodies insulate a section of the axon, lowering its resistance. (The myelin sheath of the brain)
