C) glia.
D) synapses.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glia, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells in the nervous system that provide support and protection for neurons. They play various roles including insulation, nourishment, growth guidance, and waste removal. Neurotransmitters are chemicals released by neurons to communicate with other cells, myelin sheaths are the insulating layer around some neurons, and synapses are the junctions between neurons where information is transmitted. None of these options accurately describe the functions of glia.
