Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Branches that occur along an axon are called collaterals. Dendrites are branches that extend from the cell body of a neuron and receive signals from other neurons. Synaptic knobs are located at the end of axons and release neurotransmitters to communicate with other neurons. Hillocks are raised areas on the axon where the axon meets the cell body. Synapses are the junctions between two neurons where information is transmitted from one neuron to the next.
