Question

what structure of a neuron is a short, highly branched process that helps receive input from other neurons?
multiple choice
myelin
neurofilament
axon
dendrite

Explanation:

• Myelin is a fatty substance that insulates axons, not for receiving input.
• Neurofilaments are intermediate filaments in neurons for structural support, not for input reception.
• Axons transmit signals away from the neuron cell body, not for receiving input.
• Dendrites are short, highly branched processes that receive signals (input) from other neurons.

Answer:

D. Dendrite
