Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of neuroglia cells: Neuroglia, or glial cells, are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system that do not conduct electrical impulses. Their primary functions include supporting and protecting neurons.

Identify the functions of neuroglia: Common functions include maintaining the blood-brain barrier, providing structural support, and regulating the extracellular fluid composition around neurons.

Analyze the given options: Review each option to determine if it aligns with the known functions of neuroglia.

Recognize the function that is not typical of neuroglia: Neuroglia do not transmit electrical impulses; this is the primary function of neurons.

Conclude which option is NOT a function of neuroglia: Based on the analysis, identify 'Transmitting electrical impulses' as the function that does not belong to neuroglia.
