Answer:

The answer is C. spikes that send messages to other parts of the body.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dendrites are short extensions that branch out from the cell body of a neuron. They receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body. Dendrites are covered in small spines, which increase their surface area and allow them to receive more signals.
