Question

_________ receive messages from other neurons and _____________send messages to other neurons.

A) Axons; dendrites

B) Axon; soma

C) Soma; glial cells

D) Dendrites; axons

Answer 1

Dendrites receive messages, while axons send messages to other neurons in a neuron.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dendrites receive messages from other neurons, while axons send messages to other neurons. When a signal is released from the axon terminal, it passes through the axon and synapses with the dendrites. The dendrites then transmit the signal to the soma or cell body, where multiple signals from multiple synapses are integrated at the axon hillock. From there, the signal is passed into the axon and ultimately transferred to another cell.
