Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendrites are the part of the neuron that receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors in the periphery. Schwann cells are not part of the neuron, but rather a type of supporting cell in the peripheral nervous system. The axon is responsible for transmitting the signal down the length of the neuron, while the axon terminal is where the signal is transmitted to the next neuron or effector cell.
