Processes That Carry Impulses from the Neuron Cell Body to Another

Question

Processes that carry impulses from the neuron cell body to another neuron or effector are called
A)dendrites
B)axons
C)synapses
D)neurofibrils
E)myelin sheaths

Accepted Answer

Axons carry impulses away from the neuron cell body, while dendrites carry impulses towards the cell body. Synapses are the junctions between neurons where communication occurs. Neurofibrils are structural components of the neuron, and myelin sheaths are fatty coverings that surround some axons to increase the speed of impulse transmission.
