Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following is the best statement about the function of neurons? Signals can travel in either direction in both axons and dendrites.
Detailed explanation-2: -Neurons are responsible for the transport and uptake of neurotransmitters-chemicals that relay information between brain cells. Depending on its location, a neuron can perform the job of a sensory neuron, a motor neuron, or an interneuron, sending and receiving specific neurotransmitters.
Detailed explanation-3: -Which of the following statements most completely summarises the function of the neuron? Neurons receive, carry, and pass on information to other neurons. Which of the following sentences best describes how dendrites and axon terminals are similar? Dendrites and axon terminals both deal with neurotransmitters.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which statement best describes the function of a neuron with multiple, highly branched dendrites and one axon? It can integrate convergent information from many neurons.
