Question

exam 3 - chapters 10 and 11 nervous syst... what are the two major cell types found in nervous tissue? multiple choice neurons and nerves neurons and neuroglia dendrites and axons astrocytes and schwann cells

Explanation:

Nervous tissue is composed of two major cell types: neurons (which transmit electrical signals) and neuroglia (also called glial cells, which support, protect, and nourish neurons). "Neurons and nerves" is incorrect as nerves are bundles of neuron processes, not a cell type. "Dendrites and axons" are parts of neurons, not separate cell types. "Astrocytes and Schwann cells" are types of neuroglia, not the two major overall cell types of nervous tissue.

Answer:

C. Neurons and neuroglia
