Neurochemicals travel through the extracellular fluid and cerebrospinal fluid to influence distant cells in a process known as
A) saltatory conduction.
B) passive conduction.
C) volume transmission.
D) wiring transmission.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described in the question is volume transmission, which is the diffusion of neurochemicals through the extracellular fluid and cerebrospinal fluid to influence distant cells. The other options listed (saltatory conduction, passive conduction, and wiring transmission) refer to different processes involved in neural communication, but do not fit the description given in the question.
