Nervous system consists of which two type of cells?

Stem cells and platelets

Red blood cells and white blood cells

Neurons and glial cells

Muscles and bones

Answer explanation

The nervous system is primarily composed of neurons, which transmit signals, and glial cells, which support and protect neurons. Other options do not represent the main cell types in the nervous system.

What is the primary function of the nervous system?

To provide structural support to the body

To facilitate communication throughout the body using electrical signals

To transport nutrients and oxygen to cells

To isolate and protect the body from pathogens

Answer explanation

The primary function of the nervous system is to facilitate communication throughout the body using electrical signals, allowing for rapid responses and coordination of bodily functions.

What is the role of an axon in a neuron?

To receive signals from other neurons

To support the neuron structurally

To transmit electrical signals away from the neuron's cell body (soma)

To supply nutrients to the neuron

Answer explanation

The axon is a crucial part of a neuron, responsible for transmitting electrical signals away from the cell body (soma) to other neurons or muscles, facilitating communication within the nervous system.

What is the primary function of the structure labeled in the diagram (axon)?

To transport nutrients within the body

To provide structural support to organs

To transmit information throughout the nervous system

To filter blood impurities

Answer explanation

The primary function of the axon is to transmit information throughout the nervous system. It carries electrical signals away from the neuron's cell body to communicate with other neurons, muscles, or glands.
