Correct answer: A. Axon
- A. Axon
- B. Auxin
- C. Sehwann cell
- D. Dendrites
Explanation
An extension or process called an axon carries impulses away from the cell body.

About Neurons and Nerve Impulse
Neurons receive and transmit information through dendrites, the cell body and axons. The topic explains resting potential, depolarization, repolarization, refractory periods and saltatory conduction, followed by synaptic transmission through neurotransmitters. An action potential is distinct from the graded potential produced at a receptor.
