Dendrites ________

Question

Dendrites ________.
A)Are usually highly branched
B)Carry impulses away from the cell body
C)Are usually surrounded by myelin
D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

Dendrites are usually highly branched structures that extend from the cell body of a neuron. They receive signals from other neurons and carry this information towards the cell body. Dendrites are not usually surrounded by myelin as this is a characteristic of axons, which carry signals away from the cell body. Therefore, only option A is the correct choice.
