The Part of the Neuron That Carries Impulses to the Neuron

Question

The part of the neuron that carries impulses to the neuron cell body is the
A) dendrite
B) axon
C) neurolemma
D) node of Ranvier

Accepted Answer

Dendrites are the part of the neuron that receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors and carry them towards the cell body. Axon is the part of the neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body. Neurolemma is a part of the peripheral nervous system and is responsible for myelination of axons. Node of Ranvier is a gap between myelinated segments of axons that aids in the conduction of nerve impulses.
