What Part of the Neuron Receives Nerve Impulses and Acts

Question

What part of the neuron receives nerve impulses and acts as an "antenna"?
A) axon
B) cell body
C) dendrite
D) nerve

Accepted Answer

Dendrites receive nerve impulses from other neurons and act as an antenna to transmit these signals towards the cell body. The axon is responsible for transmitting signals away from the cell body towards other neurons or muscles, and the nerve is a bundle of axons. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles necessary for the neuron's functioning.
