What is a dendrite?
A. Where electrical impulses from the neuron travel away to be received by other neurons
B. The receiving part of the neuron. They receive synaptic inputs from axons.
C. They are information messengers. They use electrical impulses and chemical signals to transmit information between different areas of the brain.
Answer (2)
Dendrites are the received part of neurons that receive signals from other neurons' axons. They play a critical role in processing and transmitting information within the nervous system. Through receptors on their surface, dendrites help in the communication and integration of neural signals. ;
Dendrites are the receiving parts of neurons that gather signals from other neurons' axons. They play a key role in processing these signals and facilitating communication within the nervous system. Therefore, the correct choice is B: The receiving part of the neuron. They receive synaptic inputs from axons.
