Dendrites are part of a neuron that carries electrical signals ____ the cell body.
A
to
B
away
C
in between
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrites of a neuron are the first ones to receive electrical impulses. The cell body, also called the soma, is the spherical part of the neuron that contains the nucleus. The cell body connects to the dendrites, which bring information to the neuron, and the axon, which sends information to other neurons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dendrites are the branched thread-like extensions of a neuron that carry impulses from nearby neurons to the cell body (cyton). Axons carry impulses away from the cyton.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrites can be thought of as analogous to transistors in a computer, performing simple operations using electrical signals. Dendrites receive input from many other neurons and carry those signals to the cell body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Myelin sheath provides an insulating layer to the dendrites. Axons carry the signal from the soma to the target. Dendrites carry the signal to the soma.
