Part of neuron where information travels as an electrical impulse
A
Axon
B
Synaps
C
Dendrite
D
Cell body
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Axon is the part of the neuron through which information travels as an electric impulse.

Detailed explanation-2: -Within a neuron, the impulse moves to the tip of an axon and causes the release of neurotransmitters, chemicals that act as messengers. Neurotransmitters pass through the synapse, the gap between two nerve cells, and attach to receptors on the receiving cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -An action potential (nerve impulse) is an electrical signal that travels down the axon of a neuron, resulting in the release of neurotransmitters into the synapse. An action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific cell rapidly changes.
