|
Nerve
|
|
Brain
|
|
Dendrite
|
|
Axon
|
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. A protective covering called the myelin sheath, covers most neurons.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dendrites are specialized to receive neuronal signals, although receptors may be located elsewhere on the cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
