Question

When you drive down the street listening to your car’s radio, you may not think about the fact that the music is received by the radio’s antenna. Which part of the human neuron serves the same purpose as an antenna – that is, receiving information?

Answer 1

Your answer would be dendrites.

Dendrites look like branches coming off of the main body of the neuron. They receive electrical signals from axons, and then transmit them to the rest of the cell body.

Hope this helps!
