D)myelin sheath

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The axon is the long structure leaving the cell body that transmits action potentials. The dendrite receives signals from other neurons, while the myelin sheath is a covering that increases the speed of transmission along the axon. The cell membrane surrounds the entire neuron but is not specifically involved in transmitting action potentials.
