Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The soma, also known as the cell body, is the part of the neuron which collects and combines information from the dendrites before transmitting it down the axon. The axon is responsible for transmitting the information, while the axon terminal is the endpoint of the axon where neurotransmitters are released. Ion channels are found throughout the neuron and are responsible for controlling the flow of ions, but they do not specifically collect and combine information like the soma.
