The neurons of CNS that form myelin sheath, provide nutrition and are involved in phagocytic activity are know as:
Correct answer: D. Neuroglia
- A. Sensory neurons
- B. Motor neurons
- C. Interneurons
- D. Neuroglia
Explanation
They provide homeostatic, structural and metabolic support of neurons, to meylinate their axons to ensure rapid signal transmission and to be the main defensive and immunocompetent cells.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
