Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurons are cells that specialize in sending and receiving information in the brain. They are responsible for transmitting electrical and chemical signals between cells, allowing for communication and coordination throughout the nervous system. Glial cells provide support and protection for neurons, but they do not send or receive information themselves. Transducer cells are not a recognized type of cell in the nervous system, and nodes of Ranvier are specialized gaps in the myelin sheath that helps to increase the speed of nerve impulse transmission.
