Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The site where a nerve impulse is transmitted from one nerve cell to another is called the synapse. Option A, action potential, refers to the electrical signal that travels along the axon of a neuron. Option B, myelinated axon, refers to the type of nerve fiber that is insulated with myelin, which speeds up the transmission of nerve signals. Option C, precursor cell, refers to a cell that can develop into different types of cells, but is not specifically related to the transmission of nerve impulses in the nervous system.
