Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distal tips of nerve fibers referred to in this definition are the axon terminals or telodendria.

Answer: A
 The cell body is the main structure of a neuron that contains the nucleus and other organelles.

Answer: C 
 Nodes of Ranvier are gaps in the myelin sheath that allow for the rapid propagation of nerve impulses along the axon.

Answer: D 
 Dendrites are extensions of the neuron that receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors.

Answer: E 
 Myelin is a fatty substance that surrounds and insulates axons, allowing for faster transmission of nerve impulses.
