Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The axon is the long, singular projection of the neuron that transmits electrical signals to other neurons or cells. In this analogy, the forearm can represent the axon as it is the main pathway or conduit through which signals are transmitted, similar to how the axon is the main pathway through which electrical signals are transmitted in a neuron. The hand and fingers can represent the dendrites, branch-like extensions that receive signals from other neurons, and the wrist does not have a direct comparison to any part of a neuron.
