Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell body, also known as the soma, is enclosed by the cell membrane or plasma membrane, which separates the cytoplasm of the cell from the extracellular fluid outside the cell. The axon is an elongated extension of the cell body that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body toward the target neuron or effector cell, while dendrites are the short, branched projections that receive incoming signals from other neurons or sensory receptors. The myelin sheath is a covering made of glial cells (oligodendrocytes or Schwann cells) that wrap around axons to insulate and enhance electrical conduction.
