Neural Control and CoordinationHard

Question

Unidirectional transmission of a nerve impulse through nerve fiber is due to the fact that 

Options

A.nerve fibre is insulated by a medullary shesth.
B.sodium pump starts operating only at the cyton and then continues into the nerve fibre
C.neurotransmitters are released by dendrites and not by axon endings.
