Sample Practice Questions (Active Recall)
Q1.Which of the following best explains why neurons cannot be replaced after destruction while neuroglia can?
ANeurons are amitotic (cannot divide), whereas neuroglia are mitotic
BNeurons lack a nucleus, preventing cellular division
CNeurons are permanently differentiated and lack telomeres
