receives neuron messages and sends them to the cell body
A
dendrite
B
axon
C
cochlea
D
reflex
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: -Dendrites receive messages from other neurons. Axon sends messages from the cell body to the dendrites of other neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -The neuron has branches (like a tree) called dendrites, which receive signals, and a longer, simpler projection (like a tree trunk), called an axon, which sends signals. Synapses are found at the end of axons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dendrites receive electrochemical messages, usually in the form of neurotransmitters, from other neurons via specialized receptors located on the surface of the dendrite (Urbanska et al. 2008).

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
