Dr. Vazquez is examining a cell from the nervous system of an animal. He notices that at one end of the cell body is a long, fibrous strand of tissue. He immediately recognizes this as an axon that is responsible for:

Back

carrying signals away from the cell body.

Messages are transmitted from one neuron to another through the: axon terminal of one neuron to the axon terminal of another neuron., dendrites of one neuron to the dendrites of another neuron., synapses of one neuron to the axon terminal of another neuron., axon terminals of one neuron to the dendrites of other neurons.
