Explanation

Correct Answer (b) Santiago Ramón y Cajal Santiago Ramón y Cajal is credited with the discovery of nerve cells. He was a Spanish neuroscientist who is often referred to as the "father of modern neuroscience." In the late 19th century, Cajal used the Golgi staining method to study the structure of the nervous system, particularly nerve cells or neurons. His work led to the understanding that the nervous system is composed of individual cells called neurons, which communicate through synapses. This discovery laid the foundation for our current understanding of the structure and function of the nervous system. 11 adda247.com/teachers | www.sscadda.com | www.bankersadda.com | www.adda247.com
