neurotrophins
question 5 1 pts
Neurotrophins are a family of proteins that play crucial roles in the development, survival, and function of neurons. They promote neuron growth, ensure neuron survival, and act as axon guidance molecules. Myelination is the process of forming a myelin sheath around axons, which speeds up nerve impulse conduction. Synaptic gaps are the spaces between neurons where neurotransmitters are released. Endorphins are neurotransmitters that act as painkillers and mood elevators. Glial cells provide support and protection for neurons but do not have the specific functions of promoting neuron growth and acting as axon guidance molecules like neurotrophins.
