Branch-like extensions of the neuron that receive chemical messages and carry them to the cell body.
A
Dendrites
B
Neurons
C
Nerves
D
Spinal Cord
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -An axon is a long, hair-like extension of a nerve cell that carries a message to another nerve cell. Dendrites are thread-like extensions of the cytoplasm of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurons have a large number of extensions called dendrites. They often look likes branches or spikes extending out from the cell body. It is primarily the surfaces of the dendrites that receive chemical messages from other neurons. One extension is different from all the others, and is called the axon.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Dendrites extend from the neuron cell body and receive messages from other neurons. Synapses are the contact points where one neuron communicates with another. The dendrites are covered with synapses formed by the ends of axons from other neurons.
