The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the basic units of the nervous system. 2. **Identifying the Options**: The options provided are: - Cytone - Axon - Neuroglial cells - Neurons 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Cytone**: This is another term for the cell body of a neuron. It is a part of the neuron but not a unit by itself. - **Axon**: This is a long projection of a neuron that transmits impulses away from the cell body. It is also a part of the neuron, not a unit. - **Neuroglial Cells**: These are non-neuronal cells that support and protect neurons. They do not transmit impulses and are not considered units of the nervous system. - **Neurons**: These are the basic structural and functional units of the nervous system. They are responsible for transmitting impulses throughout the body. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Neurons**, as they are the fundamental units of the nervous system responsible for communication.
