What are the branchlike appendages that detect chemical signals from neighboring neurons?
A) axons
B) synapses
C) cell bodies
D) dendrites

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendrites are branchlike structures that extend from the neuron cell body and receive chemical signals (neurotransmitters) from neighboring neurons at the synapses. Axons are long, thin structures that transmit signals away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles. Cell bodies contain the nucleus and other organelles and are responsible for the overall metabolism and functioning of the neuron.
