Injured Neurons Can Fully Recover Their Functional Capabilities If ________

Question

Injured neurons can fully recover their functional capabilities if ________.
A) the oxygen and nutrient supplies are restored within a period of a few minutes
B) the cause of the damage is removed within a period of weeks
C) the cells can divide enough times to replace those that are lost
D) All of the answers are correct.
E) None of the answers are correct.

Accepted Answer

Neurons can recover if the oxygen and nutrient supplies are restored quickly, as prolonged deprivation leads to irreversible damage. Neurons generally do not divide, so option C is incorrect.
