which is a part of a neuron that receives messages?
a. cell body
b. nucleus
c. dendrite
d. axon

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Dendrites are branch - like structures of a neuron. Their main function is to receive messages (neurotransmitters) from other neurons. The cell body (soma) contains the nucleus and other organelles and integrates signals. The nucleus is the control center of the cell (in terms of genetic material). The axon transmits electrical impulses (action potentials) away from the neuron. So, the part of the neuron that receives messages is the dendrite.

Answer:

C. Dendrite
