    A)  right atrium      

    B)  dendrites

    C)  cell body                            

    D)  axon

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    A nerve fibre is sensu stricto, an axon together with its enveloping sheaths. The myelin sheath appears as a tube around the axon. Its name has been derived from the fact that it is filled with a complex mixture of lipids and proteins called myelin. At regular intervals (of about 1 mm in humans), the neurilemma is constricted and the myelin sheath is interrupted, forming the so-called nodes of Ranvier.
