Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Branches of a neuron that collect stimuli
A
Myelin sheath
B
Dendrites
C
Cell Body
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrites. Dendrites are tree-like extensions at the beginning of a neuron that help increase the surface area of the cell body . These tiny protrusions receive information from other neurons and transmit electrical stimulation to the soma. Dendrites are also covered with synapses.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Dendrites Dendrites are appendages that are designed to receive communications from other cells. They resemble a tree-like structure, forming projections that become stimulated by other neurons and conduct the electrochemical charge to the cell body (or, more rarely, directly to the axons).

Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrites collect stimuli and transport them to the cell body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Afferent or sensory neurons collect stimuli received by receptors throughout the body, including the skin, eyes, ears, nose, tongue as well as pain and other receptors in the internal organs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Dendrite collects and stores all incoming information from axon terminals. Dendrites are the structures of neurons, which conduct electrical impulses toward the cell body of the nerve cell. Dendrites collect messages through other neurons or the nerves in the human body.
