Answer:

a) neuron

Step-by-step explanation:

The neuron is the main cell of the nervous system, being responsible for the conduction, reception and transmission of nerve impulses.

The basic structure of a neuron is formed by: Cell or Pericary Body, containing the nucleus, the cytoplasm and the cytoskeleton; Dentritos, thin branched extensions of the cell body, increasing the surface of electrical propagation; Axon, extension of the neuron of varying sizes, serving as the conductor of the electrical impulse; and the Telodendron, terminal branch of the axon, communicating with other neurons or other effector types (muscle and glandular cells).
