Question

Neurons conduct and receive information from other neurons in the form of electrical currents. the receiving end of the neuron is the _______________ while the conducting portion of the neuron is the ______________. in between one neuron's conductor and other's neuron's receiver is a space called the ______________.

Answer 1

Dendrite; axon; synapse

These are parts of the neuron which is considered as the basic unit of nervous system. The cell responsible for receiving sensory input from the external environment. The stimulus will be transported in an electrical signal via neuronal parts. Axon transmit signal to the other neuron. Dendrites are the receiving part of the neuron. Synapse is the space between each neuron where elctrical impulse is converted into a chemical signal via neurotransmitters.
