A Neuron May Have

Question

A neuron may have
A)one axon and many dendrites.
B)one dendrite and many axons.
C)no dendrites.
D)no axons.

Accepted Answer

Neurons typically have one axon that transmits electrical signals away from the cell body and many dendrites that receive signals from other neurons or sensory receptors. Therefore, option A is the correct choice. Option B is incorrect because neurons do not have more than one axon. Option C is also incorrect because dendrites are an essential part of neurons. Finally, option D is incorrect because axons are necessary for transmitting signals to other neurons or muscles.
