Answer the following question given this paragraph: Watch this video (http://openstaxcollege. org/l/vertebrate_evol) of biologist Mark Kirschner discussing the "flipping" phenomenon of vertebrate evolution. The nervous system is made up of neurons, specialized cells that can receive and transmit chemical or electrical signals, and glia, cells that provide support functions for the neurons by playing an information processing role that is complementary to neurons. A neuron can be compared to an electrical wireit transmits a signal from one place to another. Glia can be compared to the workers at the electric company who make sure wires go to the right places, maintain the wires, and take down wires that are broken. Although glia have been compared to workers, recent evidence suggests that also usurp some of the signaling functions of neurons. There is great diversity in the types of neurons and glia that are present in different parts of the nervous system. There are four major types of neurons, and they share several important cellular components. Q: The nervous system is made up of these? Choices: - fibers - blood cells - muscles - neurons A:
Answer:
neurons
