Explanation / Answer

The functions what you have written about the oligodendrocytes, microglia, ependymal and astrocytes are correct. The appearances of oligodendrocytes and microglia are:

Oligodendrocytes are the myelin-forming cells of the central nervous system. They have small amounts of cytoplasm surrounding rounded nuclei and possess only a few short processes.

Microglia are distributed in large non-overlapping regions throughout the CNS. These cells are the smallest of all the neuroglia. The nuclei are normally oval-shaped, and projecting out from their cell bodies are slender elongated processes that enable the cells to move via chemotaxis.
