The Nourishment,insulation,and Support for Neurons is the Result of Activity

Question

The nourishment,insulation,and support for neurons is the result of activity by the
A)smooth muscles.
B)adipose tissue.
C)endocrine system.
D)intercalated disks.
E)glial cells.

Accepted Answer

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, support and nourish neurons in the nervous system. They provide insulation, maintain the chemical environment necessary for proper neuronal function, and even play a role in signal transmission. Smooth muscles and adipose tissue do not directly contribute to the nourishment, insulation, or support of neurons, while the endocrine system primarily regulates hormone secretion and does not have a direct role in neuronal support. Intercalated disks are structures found in cardiac muscle cells and are not relevant to nervous system function.
