Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dendrites and their branches are responsible for receiving input from other neurons and transmitting that information to the cell body. Therefore, the more dendrites a neuron has, the more information it can receive. Axons are responsible for transmitting information away from the cell body, while glial cells provide support and protection for neurons but do not directly contribute to information processing.
