Question

question 9 of 10
if one neuron is communicating with another neuron using a neurotransmitter, what part of the neuron receives this chemical signal after crossing the synaptic cleft?
axon
cell body
dendrite
myelin sheath

Explanation:

Neurons communicate via neurotransmitters. Dendrites are the parts of a neuron that receive chemical signals (neurotransmitters) from other neurons after they cross the synaptic cleft. Axons transmit signals away from the neuron. The cell body (soma) contains the nucleus and organelles. The myelin sheath insulates axons for faster signal conduction.

Answer:

C. Dendrite
