Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which part of the neuron is primarily responsible for receiving signals?
  • Step 1: Understand what a neuron is. A neuron is a type of cell in the nervous system that sends and receives signals.
  • Step 2: Identify the main parts of a neuron. The main parts include the cell body, dendrites, and axon.
  • Step 3: Learn about dendrites. Dendrites are the branch-like structures that extend from the neuron.
  • Step 4: Know the function of dendrites. Dendrites are responsible for receiving signals from other neurons.
  • Step 5: Understand how signals are transmitted. After receiving signals, dendrites send this information to the cell body of the neuron.
