What cell in the human nervous system whose primary function is to provide insulation and structure for neurons on which they may develop and work?

The cells in the human nervous system that provide insulation and structure for neurons are called glial cells, specifically oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. These cells produce myelin, a fatty substance that wraps around the axons of neurons to insulate and support their function by speeding up the transmission of nerve impulses.
