Which branching structures carry information toward the cell body of a neuron?
A)Synapses
B)Axons
C)Dendrites
D)Nodes of Ranvier

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendrites are the branching structures that carry information towards the cell body of a neuron. Axons, on the other hand, carry information away from the cell body towards other neurons or effector cells. Synapses are the junctions between two neurons or between a neuron and an effector cell, where information is transmitted using chemical or electrical signals. Nodes of Ranvier are the gaps in the myelin sheath of axons where action potentials are generated.
