Neurons are cells adapted for the rapid transmission of electrical impulses. To do this, they have long thick processes called:
Correct answer: A. Axons
- A. Axons
- B. Dendrites
- C. Myelin sheath
- D. Schwann cell
Explanation
The long thin processes that transmit neural impulses from one part to the other are called axons. Hence, Option A is correct.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
