Question

______ support, protect, and nourish nerve cells.

○ nurturons

○ neurons

○ neuroglia

○ nurse cells

○ nutrient cells

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Nurturons: Not a recognized term for supporting nerve cells.
• Neurons: These are the nerve cells themselves, not the ones supporting them.
• Neuroglia (also called glial cells): Their function is to support, protect, and nourish neurons (nerve cells).
• Nurse cells: A term used in other contexts (e.g., in some biological systems but not for nerve cell support).
• Nutrient cells: Not a standard term for supporting nerve cells.

So the correct option is Neuroglia.

Answer:

C. Neuroglia
