Question

The role of the axon is to

• A. Integrate signals from the dendrites
• B. Release neurotransmitter
• C. Conduct the impulse to the synaptic terminal
• D. Synthesize cellular components

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Conduct the impulse to the synaptic terminal

An axon also known as a nerve fibre, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. The function of the axon is to transmit information to different neurons, muscles and glands. The space between two neuron is known as synapse. The nerve impulse is transmitted towards the synaptic terminal from the dendron.

Hence the correct option is C.
