The part of the neuron that speeds up the transmission of electrical signals to the axon is the myelin sheath. This fatty layer encases the axon and acts as an insulator, allowing electrical impulses to travel more rapidly through a process called saltatory conduction. By jumping between the nodes of Ranvier—gaps in the myelin sheath—the signal is transmitted more efficiently compared to unmyelinated axons.

The part of the neuron that decided if the message will travel to the next neuron or not is the what?

The axon terminal is the part of the nerve responsible for sending the message at all. Not only does it send the message, though, it has branching paths which allow it to determine which path it'll go on.

What part of a neuron attaches the cell body to the axon?

The part of a neuron that attaches the cell body to the axon is called the axon hillock. It is located at the base of the cell body and is responsible for integrating incoming signals to generate an action potential.


Which part of the neuron can propagate an action potential?

The axon is the part of the neuron that can propagate an action potential. This process relies on the opening and closing of ion channels along the axon membrane to allow the action potential to travel from the cell body to the axon terminals.


What are the different part of neuron?
