Question

question 76
sensory input comes into a neuron at the ______.
a axon hillocks
b cell bodies
c axon terminals
d myelin sheaths
e dendrites

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Axon hillocks integrate signals to initiate action potentials, not receive sensory input.
• Option B: Cell bodies (soma) process information but are not the primary site for sensory input reception.
• Option C: Axon terminals transmit signals to other neurons, not receive input.
• Option D: Myelin sheaths insulate axons for faster signal transmission, not receive input.
• Option E: Dendrites are the branched structures of a neuron that receive sensory input (and other signals) from other neurons or sensory receptors.

Answer:

E. dendrites
