Question

Often resembling branches of a tree, _____ are the short fibers extending from the neuron's cell body that receive information from other neurons or from sensory receptor cells.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "Dendrites".

Explanation:

• A short branched continuation of the neuron, through which the impulses obtained from many other cells in synapses are transferred to the cell organ.
• Dendrites are parts of the neuron that are activated to make the cell involved. They are transmitting electrical signals to all the neuron cell bodies to enable the cell to operate.

Therefore, Dendrites is the right answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Dendrites

Explanation:

Nerve cells that carry the electrical messages throughout your body is called neuron. They are different from other cells in the body as are made up of axons and dendrites.

Dendrite is the part of neuron that receives stimulation (information) from other neurons to activate the cells. They are tree like extensions at the beginning of a neuron and  increase the surface area of the cell body. They receive information from other neurons and transmit the electrical stimulation to the soma.
