Question 1 of 5
Which of the following are NOT ways in which the brain can protect itself?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because the formation of tripartite synapses with astrocytes and neurons does not provide direct protection to the brain. Tripartite synapses involve communication between neurons and astrocytes, primarily for synaptic regulation and plasticity. The blood-brain barrier (A) physically protects the brain by restricting the passage of harmful substances. Microglia (B) function as the brain's immune cells, defending against pathogens and removing cellular debris. Therefore, choices A and B contribute to the brain's protection, making them incorrect answers.
