Question

question 6 (0.5 points) listen which structure insulates axons and speeds neural transmission? dendrite myelin astrocyte soma

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Dendrites receive neural signals, not insulate axons.
  • Myelin is a fatty sheath that wraps around axons, insulating them and enabling faster saltatory neural transmission.
  • Astrocytes are glial cells that support neurons but do not insulate axons for signal speed.
  • The soma is the cell body of a neuron, responsible for maintaining the neuron, not insulation.

Answer:

Myelin
