Answer: Gilal cells

Step-by-step explanation:

The gilal cells are often considered the "glue" of the nervous system

Their main job is to support the nervous system, neurons and nerve cells.

They are found mainly in the central nervous system, although can be found in other parts of it too, such as the peripheral nervous system.

The brain is a big part of the nervous system, and it also promotes a better brain processing and energy levels by regulating the neurotransmitters in it. Without these cells, the brain would be at a lack of information or famished.

Hope that helped a lot. Let me know any further questions.
