Astrocytes regulate ionic balance of the interstitial fluid and may influence the transfer of nutrients from capillaries to neurons.Ependymal cells line the ventricles and central canal of the spinal cord,producing CSF.Microglias provide phagocytic functions within the CNS.Glial cells in the nervous system are not capable of generating action potentials.The myelin sheath wraps around nerve axons to insulate and speed the rate of conduction.
