Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendrites are the part of the neuron that carry signals toward the cell body/nucleus. The axon carries signals away from the cell body. The cell body contains the nucleus and is responsible for processing signals from dendrites and sending signals down the axon. The node of Ranvier is a gap in the myelin sheath around the axon and is involved in the transmission of signals down the axon.
