Formation is transmitted along the axon:____.
a. by resting potentials.
b. by chemical substances called neurotransmitters.
c. by glial cells.
d. in the form of a brief electrical impulse.

Respuesta :

Information is transmitted along the axon in the form of electrical impulses. Hence, the answer is option D,

Neurons, also called nerve cells transmit and receive  information throughout the body and make up the nervous system. They are the longest cells in the body and most of this length is made up of a part of the neuron called the axon.

Axons enable a neuron to transmit information in the form of electrical impulses from one part of the body over quite a long distance. It extends from the terminal endings of the neuron to the cell body. It is made up of an elongated fibre, with some axons being surrounded by a myelin sheath, an insulator that aids in speeding up information transmission.

The myelin sheath is broken up into segments on the axon called Nodes of Ranvier. When an electrical impulse passes through the axon, it jumps from one node to another, and this helps to speed up its transmission.
