Question

which of the following is the part of a neuron that receives the impulse?
a dendrite
b nerve cell body.
c axon
d myelin

Explanation:

• Dendrites are branch - like structures of a neuron. Their main function is to receive signals (impulses) from other neurons.
• The nerve cell body (soma) contains the nucleus and organelles and integrates signals but is not the primary structure for receiving impulses.
• The axon transmits impulses away from the neuron cell body.
• Myelin is a fatty substance that insulates axons to speed up impulse conduction and is not involved in receiving impulses.

Answer:

A. dendrite
