Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurons are the specialized cells in the nervous system that receive and send messages via electrical and chemical signals. Nodes of Ranvier are small gaps between myelinated segments of axons. Glial cells provide support and protection for neurons. Reuptake cells do not exist; reuptake is a process by which neurotransmitters are taken back up into the presynaptic cell after being released into the synapse.
