Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The axon is responsible for transmitting a signal to other neurons via a synaptic connection. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons, the cell body integrates these signals, and the axon transmits the signal to other neurons. The axon does not protect the neuron or feed it.
