Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The four parts of every neuron are dendrites, which receive signals from other neurons; the soma, or cell body, which integrates the signals and decides whether to send a signal of its own; the axon, which transmits the signal to other neurons or to a muscle or gland; and the axon terminals, which release neurotransmitters to communicate with the next neuron or target cell. Myelin is not present in every neuron, and glia and hormones are not parts of the neuron itself. Astrocytes are a type of glial cell.
