Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cell body, also known as the soma, contains the nucleus and other organelles responsible for maintaining the cell's functions. It's the part where the inputs it received from dendrites are integrated and the decision to generate an action potential is taken. The axon sends the generated nerve impulse, and the dendrites receive the impulses from other neurons. The axon hillock is the initial segment of the axon, and the telodendria are the end branches of the axon. Therefore, the best choice for this question is C, the cell body.
