Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The axon is the part of the neuron that transmits information to other neurons, muscles, or gland cells through electrical and chemical signals. The dendrites receive information from other neurons and the cell body integrates information, but it is the axon that actually transmits the signal. Glial cells provide support and insulation for neurons, but they do not transmit messages.
