__________ are responsible for coating neural fibers with an insulating fatty sheath.
A) Glial cells
B) Neurotransmitters
C) Brain waves
D) Synapses

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process of coating neural fibers with an insulating fatty sheath is called myelination. This is primarily done by a type of supportive cells called glial cells, which wrap themselves around the axons of neurons to form a protective layer of myelin. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers responsible for transmitting signals between neurons, while brain waves are patterns of electrical activity in the brain. Synapses are the junctions between neurons where they exchange information. None of these are responsible for myelination of neural fibers.
