B)Myelin sheath and nodes
C)Axon and action potentials
D)Dendrites and cell body

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The myelin sheath covers the axon of some neurons and helps to speed up the transmission of neural impulses by allowing the action potentials to jump from one node to the next. This is called saltatory conduction and is much faster than the continuous conduction that occurs in unmyelinated axons.
