A
axon
B
dendrite
C
cell body
D
Schwann cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrites extend out from the cell body and receive messages from other nerve cells. An axon is a long single fiber that transmits messages from the cell body to the dendrites of other neurons or to other body tissues, such as muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The part of a neuron that receives messages from other cells is called the dendrite.

Detailed explanation-3: -Axon hillock: Once a signal is received by the dendrite, it then travels to the cell body. The cell body contains a specialized structure, the axon hillock that “integrates” signals from multiple synapses and serves as a junction between the cell body and an axon.
