Answer:

The neuron will not be able to transmit information to other cells.

Explanation:

The neuron can be known as the basic unit of the Nervous System, it is in charge of <em>activating and inhibiting the its electrical activity. </em>

It has 3 parts in charge of different functions regarding communication and integration:

  • Dendrites: the neuron's small extensions, in charge of<em> integrating the received information</em>. They are the neuron's input.
  • Axon: the neuron's <em>main extension</em>, the output which is bigger in size and is in charge of carrying out the action potential to other neurons.
  • Axon terminals: the neuron center in which the <em>metabolic activity</em> takes place.

In this case, Melanie has damaged the axon of the neuron so it will <em>not be able to transmit the information to other cells</em> since it's the neuron's output.
