A) Glial cells
B) Dendrites
C) Receptors
D) Neurons

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, play a supportive role in the nervous system. They contribute to chemical neurotransmission by supplying the building blocks needed for neurotransmitter synthesis and by removing excess neurotransmitters from the synaptic cleft through a process called reuptake. Dendrites receive and transmit signals from other neurons, receptors bind with neurotransmitters to initiate a response, and neurons are the basic functional unit of the nervous system that transmit information through electrical and chemical signals. However, none of these directly contribute to neurotransmitter synthesis or removal.
