What is the primary function of the cell body in a neuron?

• To transmit signals to other neurons

• To receive signals from other neurons

• To produce neurotransmitters

• To maintain the neuron's health and metabolism

What does the neuron's Myelin Sheath do?

• Controls the actions of the neuron

• Produces food for the neuron

• Carries information from the cell body to other neurons

• Surrounds and insulates the axon
