Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Axons transmit messages away from the cell body to neurons, muscles, or gland cells. Dendrites receive messages from other neurons and transmit them toward the cell body. Glial cells support and protect neurons, but do not transmit messages. Myelin sheaths are fatty coverings that wrap around axons to increase the speed of message transmission, but do not themselves transmit messages.
