________ Account for Roughly Half of the Volume of the Nervous

Question

________ account for roughly half of the volume of the nervous system.
A) Axons
B) Dendrites
C) Neuroglia
D) Synapses
E) Efferent fibers

Accepted Answer

Neuroglia, also known as glial cells, are non-neuronal cells that provide support and protection for neurons in the nervous system. They make up roughly half of the volume of the nervous system, while axons and dendrites make up a smaller percentage of the volume. Synapses and efferent fibers are not as abundant as neuroglia in the nervous system.
