Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Schwann cells are responsible for producing myelin in the peripheral nervous system.

Answer: K
 Oligodendrocytes are responsible for producing myelin in the central nervous system.

Answer: L
 Afferent neurons, also known as sensory neurons, transmit sensory information towards the central nervous system.

Answer: N
 Efferent neurons, also known as motor neurons, transmit impulses from the central nervous system to effectors such as muscles or glands.

Answer: O
 The cell body, also known as the soma, contains the nucleus and other organelles and is responsible for maintaining the health of the neuron.

Answer: P
 Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that transmit signals between neurons or between neurons and other cells in the body.

Answer: Q
 Nodes of Ranvier are gaps in the myelin sheath that allow for faster conduction of nerve impulses in a process called saltatory conduction.

Note: The other options are not directly related to myelin or peripheral nervous system cells.
