Which of the following carry impulses away from the cell body of neuron?
Correct answer: C. Axons
- A. Dendrites
- B. Soma
- C. Axons
- D. None of these
Explanation
Axons are the ones carrying the impulses away from the cell body of the neuron, whereas dendrites bring the impulses towards the cell body. Soma is another name for the cell body of neurons. One way to remember this is to memorize that Axon and Away start with A, so whenever Axon comes to mind think that it takes the impulses 'AWAY" from the cell body.

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.
