Explanation / Answer

8. Ependymal cells

Ependymal cells line the spinal cord and ventricles of brain. These cells are involved in the production and secretion of cerebrospinal fluid. Within the ventricle, modified ependymal cells and capillaries together known as tela choroidea which produces cerebrospinal fluid

Astrocytes are most abundant glial cells in the brain that are closely associated with neuronal synapses. They regulate electrical impulse transmission within the brain.

Oligodendrocytes provide support and insulation to axon

Satellite cells are glial cells that cover the surface of nerve cell bodies in sensory, sympathetic and parasympathetic ganglia
