Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendrites are branchlike structures that extend from the cell body of a neuron and receive information from other neurons or sensory receptors. Axons transmit information away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles. Nerve bundles are groups of axons bundled together in the peripheral nervous system. Synapses are the small gaps between neurons where neurotransmitters are released to communicate information.
