• A. Dura Matter
• B. Nerve Cells
• C. Capillaries
• D. Glial Cells

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Dura Matter

Grey matter is made up of nerve cells (neurons) and capillaries held together by a network of glial cells, which provide support, protection and nutrition to neurons as well as help transmit electrical impulses from neuron to neuron. It is estimated that glial cells outnumber neurons by about 10 to 1.Dura mater is one of three membranes (meninges) that physically protect the brain.
