Question

which process of a neuron is specialized for rapid conduction of nerve signals to structures relatively far away from the neuron cell body?
perikaryon
axon
ganglia
dendrite

Explanation:

Neurons have different parts with specific functions. The axon is a long - slender projection that conducts electrical impulses (action potentials) away from the neuron cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands over relatively long distances. Perikaryon is the cell body itself. Ganglia are clusters of neuron cell bodies outside the central nervous system. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body.

Answer:

B. Axon
