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