Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Neurons are the individual cells that make up the nervous system and are responsible for transmitting messages throughout the body. Dendrites are branched extensions of the neuron that receive signals from other neurons. Nerves are bundles of axons (long extensions of neurons) that transmit signals between the brain and other parts of the body. Ganglia are clusters of nerve cell bodies located outside the brain and spinal cord.
