Glial cells are not classified as connective tissue; instead, they are a type of nervous tissue. They support and protect neurons in the nervous system, playing crucial roles in maintaining homeostasis, forming myelin, and providing support and protection for neurons. While they share some functions with connective tissue, such as structural support, they belong to a distinct category of cells specific to the nervous system.
