Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The axon is the part of the neuron that transmits messages to other neurons, muscles, or gland cells. Dendrites receive incoming messages, but do not transmit messages out of the neuron. The cell body contains the nucleus and is responsible for metabolic functions, but does not transmit messages to other cells. Glial cells support and protect neurons, but do not transmit messages themselves.
