Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Just as dendrites are the branching structures that receive information in the form of electrical impulses in a neuron, the closest analogy in a garden hose would be the branching end that allows water to flow out. This is analogous to the axon of a neuron, which carries electrical impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons or muscles.
