Question

Dendrites
Axons

Nucleus

hint Hint:

Neurons have 3 main regions. Dendrite, cell body, axon. The dendrite receives the signals the cell body transmits to the axon and the axon transfer it to the dendrite of another neuron.

The correct answer is: Dendrites

Dendrites are tree-like extensions at the beginning of a neuron that help increase the surface area of the cell body.

These tiny protrusions receive information from other neurons and transmit electrical stimulation to the soma.

Dendrites are also covered with synapses.
