|
Schwann cells
|

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is c. Dendrites. Dendrites are present at the starting point of the nerve cell body, so the first part of the neuron body, to receive signals from the previous cell, is the dendrite.
Detailed explanation-2: -Synapses: Dendrites receive signals from other neurons at specialized junctions called synapses. There is a small gap between two synapsed neurons, where neurotransmitters are released from one neuron to pass the signal to the next neuron.
