| 1. True or False: The basic structural units of the human brain are neurons. |
| 2. True or False: Glia are specialized cells that work to nourish, support, and complement the activity of neurons in the brain. |
| 3. True or False: Each brain contains over a million neurons and a billion glial cells, all containing the exact same genetic material. |
| 4. True or False: There are hundreds of "types" of neurons, classifiable by unique structural properties or by unique functional properties. |
| 5. True or False: Glia comprise only five percent of the cells in the brain. |
| 6. True or False: Some glial cells form myelin sheaths, which are fat wrappings (like insulation). |
| 7. True or False: A single neuron or a group of neurons can send only one signal to another neuron or group of neurons at a time. |
| 8. True or False: Neurons and glial cells are the "building blocks" of brain structure. |
| 9. True or False: Specialized areas of close proximity between neurons designed for communication are called synapses. |
| 10. True or False: A neurotransmitter is a chemical released from a neuron. |
