Homework Answers
Correct Answer: D. A fatty sheath found around certain axons that increases the speed of conduction of a nerve impulse
Explanation
Neuroglial cells are non-neuronal cells found in CNS which do not produce electrical impulses. Oligodendrocytes are specialized type of neuroglial cells. Their main functions is to provide support and insulation to axons in the CNS. The myelin sheath provides insulation to the axon which allows electrical signals to propagate more efficiently.
