- C. Ganglion
- D. Proneuron fiber
Explanation
An axon is a long, slender projection extending from the cell body of a neuron. It is the primary means by which neurons transmit electrical impulses (action potentials) away from the cell body toward other neurons, muscles, or glands. Axons are specialized for rapid and efficient transmission of signals over long distances. They can branch into collaterals and terminate at axon terminals, where they form synapses with other neurons or target cells.
