Dendrites of the postsynaptic neurons are the structures that receive chemical messages -neurotransmitters- from the presynaptic neurons. The correct option is D. Dendrites.

<h3>What is a synapse?</h3>

Neurons are cells that communicate with each other through the transmition of nervous impulses.

Every neuron forms connections with other neurons or with effector organs, such as the muscle. These connections are known as synapses.

Synapses can be either chemical or electrical. The most common one is the chemical synapses that involve the release of a substance known as a neurotransmitter.

During chemical synapses, when a presynaptic neuron sends information, it releases neurotransmitters. This event is done through exocytosis.

The neurotransmitter is a molecule that travels through the synaptic space forward to the dendrites of the other neuron or to the effector cell. Once the chemical reaches the postsynaptic membrane, it binds to its receptors.

This binding neurotransmitter-receptor produces excitatory postsynaptic potential, which is the depolarization of the postsynaptic cell.

Once the action potential is initiated, it spreads to the rest of the membrane, depolarizing it.

<h3></h3>

According to this framework, when two neurons communicate, the neurotransmitter released by one of them reaches the receptors located in the dendrites of the postsynaptic cell.

Dendrites are the structures that receive chemical messages from the other cells.

The correct option is D. Dendrites.

Taya2010 [7]
In psychology, the term nature refers to traits that are a result of heredity. <span>Plato (428–347 BC) believed that people’s ability to think, feel and interact are innate and natural. That is, the person already had a set of its characteristics by the moment he or she was born through his or her genes passed on from his parents. He believed that people already have the certain tendency to react to a certain stimulus even before he was taught by his environment.</span>

Ipatiy [6.2K]
The answer to this question would be: frequency

The higher intensity of the stimulus, the higher frequency of the action potential will be sent. The nerve can't send a higher action potential, so it firing at higher at higher intensity instead. So when you felt an intense pain, that means the pain receptor is firing more stimulus per second compared to low or mild pain.
