Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Axons are the long, narrow branches of a neuron that typically carry neural messages away from the cell body and transmit them to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Dendrites, on the other hand, are shorter, branched projections that receive incoming signals from other neurons. Spines and filopodia are smaller protrusions that can develop on dendrites or other parts of the neuron and play a role in synaptic communication.
