which of the following are functions of neuroglia?

Question 7 of 23 Incorrect Mapof Sapling Learning macmilan learning Which of the following are functions of neuroglia? conduct afferent electrical signals remove cell waste and pathogens store and release neurotransmitters electrically insulate axons of neurons Incorrect. At least one of the choices you selected is incorrect. The membranes of neuroglial cells cannot propagate action potentials. Neuroglial cells are also not directly involved in the chemical communication between neurons

Explanation / Answer

Neuroglial cells are a group of non-neuronal cells responsible for removing pathogens and cell debris from the sites of injury or normal cell turnover. They also insulate one neuron from another by surrounding them and supply the nutrients and oxygen to the neurons. However, they do not participate in the synaptic interactions and electrical signalling processes directly.

There are three types of glial cells present in mature central nervous system: astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglial cells.

Hence the answer of the question will be option

Remove cell waste and pathogens and

Electrically insulate axons of neurons.
