Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The axon is responsible for transmitting the action potential generated at the axon hillock to the terminals. Option A is incorrect as axoplasm refers to the cytoplasm inside the axon and not necessarily its function. Option C is incorrect as dendrites receive signals from other neurons, they do not generate the action potential. Option D is incorrect as synaptic vesicles are stored in the terminals and are not part of the axon's function.
