Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Efferent neuron is another term for motor neuron, which carries signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands.

Answer: B
 Axons are the long, slender projections of neurons that conduct electrical impulses away from the neuron cell body to the synapse.

Answer: C
 Dendrites are the branch-like projections that receive chemical signals from other neurons at synapses.

Answer: D
 Oligodendrocytes are a type of glial cell that produce myelin in the central nervous system.

Answer: E
 Afferent neurons, also known as sensory neurons, carry signals from sensory receptors to the central nervous system.

Answer: F
 Astrocytes are a type of glial cell that provide support and insulation for neurons in the central nervous system.

Answer: H
 Interneurons are neurons that relay signals between other neurons, often located entirely within the central nervous system.

Answer: I
 Nodes of Ranvier are small gaps in the myelin sheath of axons that facilitate the rapid propagation of electrical impulses down the axon.

Answer: J
 Schwann cells are a type of glial cell that produce myelin in the peripheral nervous system.
