Astrocytes are star-shaped neuroglia that form the blood brain barrier between blood vessels and neurons.

Astrocytes
Astrocytes anchor neurons to blood vessels!
Some harmful effects are: blood diseases, neurons disfunction, bad transmission of nervous impulses etc.
Nerve cells, or neurons, transmit messages throughout the body by sending electrical signals down their long projections called axons. These signals can travel long distances to communicate information between different parts of the body, such as from the brain to the muscles or from sensory receptors to the brain.
Generally you can expect to have better blood pressure, less risk for a variety of diesases or conditions and more stamina and energy.
An astrocyte is a type of glial cell, not a neuron, found in the brain and spinal cord. 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.
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.
