Read the paragraph.

Despite its name, the Pacific sea horse is actually a type of fish. Its horse-shaped head gives it its

name. This creature lives in the Pacific waters off the west coast of the Americas, from Peru to

Southern California. Like many other ocean fish, sea horses face the constant challenge of losing

water to their saltier environment. When a sea horse sees a predator, its nervous system kicks

into high gear.

Which structure is responsible for transmitting signals from one nerve cell to the next?

nucleus

Golgi body

ribosome

cell membrane
