In the mammalian nervous system, the ratio of the total number of glial cells to the total number of neurons is about:

Physiology Test Question

	(A) 1 : 1 (i.e., there are as many glial cells as there are neurons)
	(B) 1 : 2 (i.e., there are half as many glial cells as there are neurons)
	(C) 2 : 1 (i.e., there are twice as many glial cells as there are neurons)
	(D) 1 : 10 (i.e., there are ten times as many neurons as there are glial cells)
	(E) 10 : 1 (i.e., there are ten times as many glial cells as there are neurons)
