Final answer:
Neurons contain dendrites, which can receive signals from other neurons.
The correct answer is b) Dendrites.
Step-by-step explanation:
Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system, and they transmit signals to other neurons or target cells. Dendrites are the specialized branches of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They have numerous projections called dendritic spines that increase the surface area available for receiving signals.
For example, when a signal is released from an axon terminal, it synapses with the dendrites of another neuron. The dendrites receive the signal, which then passes through the soma and is integrated at the axon hillock before being transmitted to the axon and transferred to another cell.Axons are long projections that conduct electrical signals away from the cell body, synapses are the junctions where neurons communicate, and myelin is a fatty substance that can cover axons, insulating and speeding up the transmission of electrical impulses.
