Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The axon carries messages away from the cell body and towards the synapse. Dendrites, on the other hand, receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body. The myelin sheath is a fatty coating that protects and insulates the axon, but it does not carry messages. The spinal cord is a part of the central nervous system that processes and transmits sensory and motor information to and from the brain, but it is not a part of a neuron.
