Question
information is transmitted along the axon:
by glial cells.
at the speed of light, or 186,000 miles per second.
in the form of a brief electrical impulse.
by chemical substances called neurotransmitters.
Brief Explanations
Glial cells support neurons but don't transmit axon information. Axon signals are electrical impulses (action potentials) that travel much slower than light; neurotransmitters carry signals between neurons at synapses, not along the axon itself.
