Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurons consist of a cell body (also known as the soma), dendrites, and an axon. The cell body contains the nucleus and most of the organelles, while dendrites receive signals from other neurons and the axon sends signals to other neurons or to glands or muscles. Schwann cells are a type of glial cell that produce myelin, which surrounds and insulates axons in the peripheral nervous system. Afferent and efferent refer to the direction of signals, with afferent signals traveling towards the central nervous system and efferent signals traveling away from the central nervous system.
