Answer:

The correct option is False

Explanation:

Pruning is an agricultural or horticultural process that involves the removal of different parts/components (such as buds, roots or even branches) of a plant. Pruning is done for different purposes; including to streamline the growing pattern of a tree or to improve the quality of fruits produced from trees.

However, the process through which neurons (upon maturation) influence cells to produce a fatty insulation shealth to provide insulation around it or the neuronal axons is known as myelination. This process is similar to what we have in electrical wires; where electrical wires are surrounded with insulation materials which does not affect the movement of electricity in the wire.

Which structure in your body is responsible for neural communication ?
Eva8 [605]

The brain contains many billions of neurons that work together to produce sensation, thought, learning and many other sensing and feeling type of processes.

Neurons use electrical signals to transmit information within a single cell and these unique functions have forced the neuron to adopt a cell structure.

Neurons comprise a cell body (or soma), dendrites, and an axon that ends at a terminal. Communication between neurons is a chemical process that uses neurotransmitters.
