Solution
The correct option is D Synapse
A. Dendrites are the segments of the neuron that receive stimulation in order for the cell to become active. They conduct electrical messages to the neuron cell body for the cell to function.
B. The function of the axon is to transmit information to different neurons, muscles, and glands.
C. Information from one neuron flows to another neuron across a synapse. The synapse contains a small gap separating neurons. The synapse consists of a presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters, mitochondria and other cell organelles.
D. The myelin sheath is a protective covering that surrounds fibers called axons, the long thin projections that extend from the main body of a nerve cell or neuron.
