Question
provide nourishment to neurons as well as insulate them and help repair damage. o dendrites o glial cells o axons o terminal buttons
Brief Explanations
To determine which structure provides nourishment, insulation, and repair to neurons, we analyze each option:
- Dendrites: Receive signals, not for nourishment/insulation/repair.
- Glial cells: Support neurons by nourishing, insulating (e.g., myelin), and repairing damage.
- Axons: Transmit signals, not the main support for nourishment/repair.
- Terminal buttons: Release neurotransmitters, not for support functions.
So glial cells match the described functions.
