The Cells of the Nervous System That Transmit Nervous System

Question

The cells of the nervous system that transmit nervous system messages are the:
A) glial cells.
B) dendrites.
C) synapses.
D) neurons.

Accepted Answer

Neurons are specialized cells that transmit nerve impulses throughout the nervous system. Glial cells are supportive cells that provide structural and functional support to neurons. Dendrites are the branch-like structures on neurons that receive signals from other neurons. Synapses are the small gaps between neurons where neurotransmitters are released to signal the next neuron in a circuit.
