Understand that the central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord, where neurons are the primary signaling cells.
Recognize that support cells in the CNS are not neurons themselves but cells that provide structural and functional support to neurons.
Identify the term 'glial cells' as the collective name for these support cells in the CNS, which include various types such as astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes.
Note that Schwann cells are support cells but are found in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), not the CNS.
Conclude that the correct collective term for support cells in the CNS is 'glial cells,' which encompasses oligodendrocytes and other support cell types.
