Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The axon is the part of the neuron that carries outgoing messages either to another neuron or to a muscle or gland. The myelin sheath is a fatty coating that covers some axons, which helps to speed up the messages being sent along the axon. Dendrites are the parts of the neuron that receive incoming messages from other neurons, while the cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles and is responsible for maintaining the cell's functions.
