During active membrane potential, _ conducts the impulse in the form of nerve impulse.
Correct answer: C. Neuron
- A. Axon
- B. Soma
- C. Neuron
- D. Cytoplasm
- E. Ribosome
Explanation
The neuron is the basic unit of the nervous system and consists of three main parts: the cell body (soma), dendrites, and axon. During active membrane potential, the neuron conducts an electrical impulse in the form of a nerve impulse or action potential. The impulse travels along the axon, a long, thin extension of the neuron, and is transmitted to other neurons, muscles, or glands.

About Coordination and Control
Coordination depends on receptors, neurons, synapses and nerve impulses, with reflex actions traced through the reflex arc and the roles of major brain regions. Chemical coordination covers endocrine glands and hormones, including how hormones regulate growth, metabolism, reproduction and internal balance, unlike rapid nervous control.
