Answer:

Neuroglia - the supporting cells of the nervous system

Oligodendrocytes - fewer branches than astrocytes

Dendrites - branched extensions off of a neuron

Astrocytes - star-shaped cells

Microglia - small, phagocytic cells in the central nervous system

Step-by-step explanation:

The given cells in the question are cells of different types of neuroglial cells that are astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes are different types of neuroglial cells. The nervous systems are supported by this Neuroglia.

As the name indicates Astrocytes are star-shaped cells and carry many branches whereas, Dendrites are the smaller, but higher in numbers, projections of the neuron cell body. It has also axon projection bind to the cell body.

• Microglia are phagocytic cells that protects thenervous system
