The myelin sheath wrapped around axons primarily
- A
Slows neural transmission by absorbing electrical charge
- B
Releases neurotransmitters into the synaptic gap
- C
Receives chemical messages from neighboring dendrites
- Dcheck_circle
Speeds up neural impulses through saltatory conduction
Explanation
Myelin allows action potentials to "jump" between nodes of Ranvier (saltatory conduction).
