Question

Which of the following is NOT a function attributed to Glia?

~They prevent toxic substances from reaching the brain.
~They process information going into the neuron
~They eliminate foreign substances inside neurons.
~They provide insulation for axons.

Answer 1

~They process information going into the neuron

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because Glia or neuroglia cells are cells found in the central nervous system that is brain and spinal cord and they did not transmit electrical impulses. Glia cells don't carry information because they don't carry electrical impulses. The cells include epipdymal cells,Schwann cells e.t.c.

They perform four major function and they include; They provide support and supply nutrients and oxygen to the cells,it prevent toxic or foreign substances from entering the neurons,they provide insulation for axons.
