Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term for support cells that protect neurons is "glial cells." This is the correct answer. Myelin is a substance that helps facilitate the transmission of electrical impulses along the axon of a neuron. Axial is not a term used to describe cells in the nervous system. Neuroblasts are stem cells that can develop into various types of nerve cells, but they are not support cells. Axons are the part of a neuron that sends electrical signals; they are not support cells.
