Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendrites are the branch-like structures of a neuron that receive incoming signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body. The nucleus is responsible for transmitting genetic information, the axon is responsible for transmitting signals away from the cell body, and the soma (or cell body) integrates the incoming signals and generates an output signal through the axon.
