Question

the function of ______ is to propagate electrical signals from one place to another.

○ teleocytes

○ muscle cells

○ transmitter cells

○ neurons

○ neuroglia

Explanation:

• Teleocytes are involved in tissue homeostasis and repair, not signal propagation.
• Muscle cells generate force and movement, not electrical signal propagation for communication.
• Transmitter cells (not a standard cell type for signal propagation in the nervous system context here) – the key cell for electrical signal propagation is neurons.
• Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical signals (action potentials) throughout the nervous system to communicate information.
• Neuroglia (glial cells) support neurons but do not propagate electrical signals.

Answer:

D. neurons
