Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neural messages are received by the dendrites, which are the branching extensions of a neuron that receive messages and conduct impulses towards the cell body. These messages are then transmitted by the axon, which is a long, thin fiber that extends from the cell body and transmits messages away from the cell body toward other neurons, muscles, or glands. Therefore, the correct option is C - dendrites receive neural messages and axons transmit them.
