Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nodes of Ranvier are the indentations between adjacent Schwann cells.

Answer: J
 Schwann cells are the cells that produce the myelin sheath in peripheral nerves.

Answer: B
 Axons are the long, thin projections of a neuron that carry electrical impulses away from the cell body.

Answer: D
 Oligodendrocytes are the cells that produce the myelin sheath in the central nervous system.

Answer: E
 Afferent neurons are also known as sensory neurons and transmit information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.

Answer: F
 Astrocytes are a type of glial cell that support and protect neurons in the central nervous system.
