AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The axon carries the signals away from the cell body. The dendrites and axons are called nerve fibers. A neuron receives a signal through the dendrites, which is then transmitted to the cell body and then through the axon. Once at the end of the axon the signal will be transmitted to the next neuron.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nerve cells (neurons) have extensive processes called dendrites. These occupy a large surface area of a neuron. They receive many signals from other neurons and contain specialized proteins that receive, process, and transfer these to the cell body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrites are specialized to receive neuronal signals, although receptors may be located elsewhere on the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following is true about the functions of dendrites and axons? Dendrites detect information from neighboring neurons, whereas axons transmit information.
