The long, slender process of a neuron that conducts impulses AWAY from the cell body is the:
ADendrite (carries impulses toward cell body)
BCell body (containing the nucleus)
CAxon (carries impulses away from cell body)
DSchwann cell (forms myelin sheath)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Axon (carries impulses away from cell body)
AXON: single, long process that carries action potentials AWAY from the cell body to other cells. Dendrites carry signals TOWARD the cell body. Schwann cells form myelin (insulation) on PNS axons.
