Neuroglia are
excitable cells of neural tissue.
supporting and non-excitable cells of neural tissue.
two to three times in volume of neural tissue.
protective and excitable cells of neural tissue.
Correct Answer :
B. supporting and non-excitable cells of neural tissue.
Neurons forms the structural and functional unit of nervous tissue. They are excitable cells. While the neuroglial cells constitute the rest of the neural system that protect and support neurons.
