Some harmful effects are: blood diseases, neurons disfunction, bad transmission of nervous impulses etc.

It provides support and nourishment for neurons, helps regulate neuronal activity, and plays a role in repairing damage to the nervous system. The name "astrocyte" comes from its star-like shape when viewed under a microscope.
Could one conclude that Ependymal cells & Oligodenrocytes blood cells in the CNS protects neurons from some blood substances in blood.
yes
Astrocytes. They provide physical and metabolic support to neurons in the central nervous system, participate in neurotransmitter uptake and recycling, and help maintain the blood-brain barrier.
some of the drugs can cross blood-brain barrier, so it can affect neurons too.
