(D) myelin
Spoiler
Explanation
Myelin is a fatty tissue that surrounds the axons of some neurons and helps speed the
movement of the action potential (essentially an electric charge) down the neuron. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that are stored in the terminal buttons and ultimately released into the synapse. Hormones are part of the endocrine system and are not involved in neural transmission.
