Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Ordinary connective tissue is absent inside the central nervous system.

i.e.

brain and spinal cord and has no function in the conduction of nerve impulse.

The neurons of nerve tissue inside the brain and spinal cord are held together by supporting cells called neuroglia cells.

Neuroglia cells resemble neurons and have long radiating processes but no nissl granules.
