One of the cell types that support and assist neurons is ____________________.  
A) muscle tissue
B) glial cell
C) neuron
D) nervous tissue
E) dendrite

Accepted Answer

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are a type of cell in the nervous system that support and assist neurons. They provide structural support, insulation, and nutrients to neurons, among other functions. Muscle tissue, neurons, and dendrites are not types of cells that offer direct support to neurons. Nervous tissue is a broad term that encompasses both neurons and glial cells.
