Question
These cells support neurons by providing nutrients and growth factors.a. oligodendrocytesb. Schwann cellsc. microgliad. astrocytes
Step 1
Oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells both make up the myelin sheath, with oligodendrocytes being in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. Therefore, we can eliminate these two options as they do not primarily provide neurons Show more…
