Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The meninges are the three protective membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord.

Answer: G
 Oligodendroglial cells are glial cells in the central nervous system that produce myelin, which forms the myelin sheath around axons.

Answer: H
 A plexus is a network of nerves or vessels in the body. The cauda equina is a collection of spinal nerves and nerve roots that extend from the end of the spinal cord, forming a plexus.

Other options:
A) Axon: A long, slender projection of a nerve cell that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body.
