_______ Transmit Neural Messages from the Cell Body Toward Another

Question

_______ transmit neural messages from the cell body toward another neuron.
A) Axons
B) Ganglions
C) Myelin sheaths
D) Dendrites

Accepted Answer

Axons are the long, slender extensions of a neuron that transmit neural impulses away from the cell body and toward other neurons, muscles, or glands. Dendrites, in contrast, receive incoming neural messages from other neurons and transmit them toward the cell body. Ganglions are clusters of neuron cell bodies found outside the central nervous system, and myelin sheaths are insulating covers that wrap around some axons to increase the speed of neural transmission.
