Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendrites are the branched extensions of neurons that receive information from other neurons and transmit it towards the cell body. Axons, on the other hand, are the elongated extensions of neurons that transmit information from the cell body to other neurons or target cells. Interneurons are neurons that only transmit information within the central nervous system, while sensory neurons transmit information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system. Cell bodies contain the nucleus and most of the cell's organelles but are not involved in receiving or transmitting information.
