What is the main function of a neuron?

Options

  1. ATransmit impulses towards the cell body
  2. BTransmit nerve impulses away from the cell body
  3. CTo form a myelin sheath
  4. DTo contain Nissl’s granules

Correct answer

B. Transmit nerve impulses away from the cell body

Step-by-step solution

The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord and is the site of information processing and control.The afferent nerve fibres transmit impulses from tissues/organs to the CNS.The efferent nerve fibres transmit regulatory impulses from the CNS to the concerned peripheral tissues/organsThe somatic neural system relays impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles. The autonomic neural system transmits impulses from the CNS to the involuntary organs and smooth muscles of the body.Dendrites are short fibres that branch repeat
