axons are necessary for neurons to be able to a. receive neural impulses from other neurons b. send neural impulses to other neurons c. direct the development of the neuron d. duplicate themselves

The correct answer is option B. send neural impulses to other neurons.

Explanation:

Axons are the thread-like part of the neuron that conducts the neural impulse from one cell body to the other cell and transmits the information to the target site. The axon can be myelinated or non-myelinated axons. Myelinated axons are faster as they do not lose the electrical impulse generated by the action potential.

The axon of the neurons functions as transmitters to send signals from one side to the other in the form of the action potentials.

Thus, the correct answer is option B - send neural impulses to other neurons.
