Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendrites are the branch-like fibres extending in clusters from the neuron's cell body. They receive information from other neurons and transmit this information towards the cell body. Axons, on the other hand, are the long fibres that transmit signals away from the cell body. Nodes of Ranvier are gaps in the myelin sheath along the axon, and glia refers to the supportive cells in the nervous system.
