Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendrites are the part of the neuron that receive nerve impulses from other neurons or sensory receptors. They act like an "antenna" to detect these impulses and transmit them towards the cell body. The axon is the part of the neuron that transmits nerve impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons or muscles. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles to maintain the neuron's functions. Nerves are bundles of axons and dendrites that transmit information throughout the body.
