D) myelin sheath

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glial cells are the primary support cells for neurons in the nervous system. They provide insulation, structure, and nutrients for neurons to develop and work properly. Epidermal cells are found in the skin, and adipose cells are fat cells that store energy. Myelin sheaths are formed by some types of glial cells but are not the primary function of all glial cells.
