Which of the following provide nutrients and insulating myelin,guide neural connections,and clean up after neurons communicate with one another?
A) glial cells
B) neural impulses
C) motor neurons
D) myelin sheath
Glial Cells
Non-neuronal cells in the brain and central nervous system that support, protect, and provide a support framework for neurons.
Myelin
A fatty substance that surrounds nerve fibers, providing insulation and speeding the transmission of nerve impulses.
Neurons
Specialized cells of the nervous system responsible for transmitting information throughout the body via electrical and chemical signals.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Glial cells provide nutrients and insulating myelin, guide neural connections, and clean up after neurons communicate with one another. Neural impulses and motor neurons do not provide these functions. The myelin sheath is a structure formed by glial cells, but alone it does not have all the functions mentioned above.
