Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An axon is a neural structure that carries messages away from the cell body of a neuron and towards other neurons, muscles, or glands. Dendrites, on the other hand, typically receive messages from other neurons. Spines and filopodia are small protrusions on dendrites that help to increase their surface area for receiving signals, but they are not the primary structures that carry messages between neurons.
