Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendrites are the multiple short fibers that extend from the neuron's cell body and receive information from other neurons or from sensory receptor cells. The nodes of Ranvier are gaps in the myelin sheath that surround axons. Synaptic vesicles are sac-like structures in the axon terminal that store neurotransmitters. Axons are long fibers that transmit signals away from the cell body.
