Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell body (also known as the soma) contains a nucleus and other organelles that produce necessary proteins for the neuron's survival and repair.

Answer: A
 Dendrites are the branches of the neuron that receive incoming signals from other neurons or sensory receptors. They do not produce proteins necessary for repair.

Answer: B
 The axon is a long, thin extension of the neuron that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons or effectors (muscles or glands). It does not produce proteins necessary for repair.
