Cells that support and protect the neurons are called

A) axons.
B) dendrites.
C) glial cells.
D) accessory cells.

Glial cells provide support and protection to neurons by insulating them, supplying nutrients and oxygen, cleaning up debris, and regulating communication between neurons. Axons and dendrites are part of neurons, not supporting cells. Accessory cells is not a term commonly used in reference to cells in the nervous system.
