Question

communicate with other cells and transmit information across long distances. options: dendrites, terminal buttons, axons, neurons

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the function described (communicate with other cells and transmit information across long distances) and the roles of each option:

• Dendrites: Receive information from other neurons, not transmit across long distances.
• Terminal buttons: Release neurotransmitters to communicate with other cells but are part of the axon terminal, not the main structure for long - distance transmission.
• Neurons: The entire cell, but the question is about the specific part.
• Axons: Are long, cable - like structures of neurons that transmit electrical impulses (information) over long distances and allow neurons to communicate with other cells (e.g., other neurons, muscle cells, etc.) at the synapse (via terminal buttons). So Axons are responsible for transmitting information across long distances and enabling communication with other cells.

Answer:

B. Axons
