Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The axon is the part of the neuron that carries impulses away from the cell body and towards other neurons or muscles. Dendrites, on the other hand, receive signals from incoming neurons. The synapse is the junction between two neurons where neurotransmitters are released to carry signals across the gap. The myelin sheath is a protective coating around some axons that helps speed up the transmission of signals.
