Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The part of the neuron which (i) receives the impulse (ii) conducts impulse away from the neuron
A
(i) Axon (ii) Dendrite
B
(i) Cyton(ii) Dendrite
C
(i) Axon(ii) Cyton
D
(i) Dendrite(ii) Axon
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: -axon, also called nerve fibre, portion of a nerve cell (neuron) that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body. A neuron typically has one axon that connects it with other neurons or with muscle or gland cells. Some axons may be quite long, reaching, for example, from the spinal cord down to a toe.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
