Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The neuron processes that normally receive incoming stimuli are called:
A
axons
B
dendrites
C
neurolemmas
D
Schwann cells
E
satellite cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is c. Dendrites. Dendrites are present at the starting point of the nerve cell body, so the first part of the neuron body, to receive signals from the previous cell, is the dendrite.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-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.
