1. Glial cells are refereed to as forgotten cells because the number of scientific research carried out on glial cells is very small compared to the other nerve cells. The other nerve cells in the nervous system have been focus of research for years, this is done in order to better understand human brain; but the glial cells have not receive that same kind of attention from researchers.

2. The following differences exist between neurons ans glial cells:
a. Glia cells has only one process while neurons have two processes, which are axon and dendrites.
b. Glial cells can not generate action potentials while neurons can.
c. Neuron have resting potential; glia cells do not.
d. Neurons possess chemical synapses which use neurotransmitters. Glial cells do not possess chemical synapses.
e. The glial cells in the nervous system are much more in number than the neurons.

3. If the glial cells stop functioning in a human being, the entire nervous system will start to malfunctioning. This is because the roles that the glial cells play in the nervous system are very important ones that are very necessary for the overall functioning of the nervous system.

Which is an inference?
Yanka [14]

Answer:

After watching a plant for a week, you determine it needs more sunlight.

Explanation:

Inference is a process by which, through certain data, a conclusion is reached. Other synonyms for inference are conclusion, implication, ilation and consequence.

Accordingly, an inference is made when after watching a plant for a week, you determine that it needs more sunlight. This was a conclusion based on data.

Not all inferences offer true conclusions, even with data analysis. It is possible to state that all dogs are furry animals with four legs, but it cannot be inferred that all furry animals that have four legs are dogs.

Inferences usually arise from an analysis of characteristics and probabilities. If someone makes reference to an animal with four legs, hairy and wagging its tail, it can be inferred that the most certain thing is that it is referring to a dog.
