Answer:

The cell that is central to the nervous system, and accounts for just about every cell in the nervous system, is the Neuron.

Explanation:

  • The nervous system is composed of two types of cell; the glial cells and the neurons.
  • Among these two, the neurons are central to the nervous system because the are the functional units of the system
  • Glial cells are supportive in function.
  • The conduction of nerve impulse is carried out by neurons while the glial cells nourish and insulate the neurons.
  • The neurons are incapable of division so once the neurons are damaged they are not replaced by new neurons.
  • However the glial cells are capable of division and the voids created due to the damage to the neurons are filled up by the glial cells.
