The three basic parts of the neuron can be likened to an arm, where the fingers represent the _____; the palm of the hand repres
ents the _____; and the forearm represents the _____. A) dendrites; myelin, axon terminalB) somas; cell body; dendriteC) receivers; generator; transmitterD) dendrites; cell body; axon
The correct answer is D) dendrites; cell body; axon
Explanation:
Neurons cells makes the nervous system and are responsible for carrying the information from one body part to the other body parts. A neuron has three distinct parts dendrites and axon.
Dendrites are the neurons extension which receives the impulse and transfers to the cell body. We can link dendrite with our fingers. Cell body is a spherical part of neuron like our palm and it controls all functions of the cell. Then from cell body signals are transferred to axons.
Axon is a long part of the nerve cell like our hand which helps in transmitting the signals to the next neurons. Therefore the correct answer is D.
They are comparable in light of the fact that they are both compound sources of vitality utilized by cells. They are altogether different as far as arrangement and structure.
