Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The axon is the part of the neuron that extends from the soma and carries messages out to other cells. The soma, or cell body, contains the nucleus and other organelles, but does not directly communicate with other cells. Dendrites receive messages from other cells and transmit them to the soma. The cell membrane surrounds the entire neuron, but is not specifically responsible for carrying messages out to other cells.
