D) radial glial cells
E) retinal ganglion cells

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Growth cones are structures on the tips of growing axons that are known for their amoebalike appearance and movements, such as extension and retraction of protrusions and exploration of the environment. Ependymal cells are a type of glial cell in the central nervous system that line the ventricles and have a more uniform appearance. Neural cell-adhesion molecules are involved in cell-cell interactions and do not have a distinct cellular appearance or movement. Radial glial cells are a type of glial cell that serve as scaffolding during development and have a more elongated, spindle-like appearance. Retinal ganglion cells are neurons in the retina that transmit visual information and have a more stabilized cellular structure.
