D

Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the basic structure of a neuron, which includes the cell body (soma), dendrites, and axon.
Recall that dendrites receive incoming signals from other neurons and carry them toward the cell body.
Recognize that the cell body contains the nucleus and integrates incoming signals but does not transmit impulses away.
Identify the axon as the long, slender projection that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body toward other neurons or effector cells.
Conclude that the axon is responsible for transmitting nerve impulses away from the cell body to communicate with other cells.
