which one of the following is not a function of glial cells?
○ generating action potentials
○ cleaning up the remains of dead neurons
○ getting nutrients to the neurons
○ generating myelin
Glial cells (like astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells) have roles like supporting neurons, providing nutrients, cleaning debris, and producing myelin. Neurons, not glial cells, generate action potentials (electrical signals for communication). So "generating action potentials" is not a glial cell function.
