Astrocytes

Explanation:

Astrocytes are the most abundant cells in the central nervous system that twine around nerve cells supporting the brain and spinal cord. They perform many functions; such as providing the nuerons with nutrients, control the blood brain barrrier and blood flow. Astrocytes are basically responsible for maintaining the central nervous system homeostasis.

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.
