Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neuroglia are the supportive cells of nervous tissue, whereas neurons are the functional cells that transmit messages. Axon is a long projection of a neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body, while dendrites are shorter projections that receive impulses from other neurons. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles of the neuron.
