Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendrites are the part of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons or from sensory receptors and transmit them towards the cell body. This allows nerve impulses to be transmitted to the cell body where they can be processed and integrated before being transmitted further along the axon. Axons are the part of the neuron that transmit nerve impulses away from the cell body, while myelin sheaths are fatty coverings that insulate and speed up nerve impulse transmission along the axon. Cell bodies contain the nucleus and other organelles necessary for the neuron's survival and metabolism, but they do not actively transmit nerve impulses.
