A neuron may haveA. one axon and many dendrites.B. no dendrites.C. no axons.D. one dendrite and many axons.
A
A. one axon and many dendrites.
Most neurons have one axon (sometimes called the nerve fiber), which is a relatively long, slender extension of the cell body that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body and communicates with other neurons, muscles, or glands.
Dendrites, on the other hand, are shorter and more numerous than axons, and they usually receive information from other neurons or sensory receptors and transmit it towards the cell body. Therefore, it is common for neurons to have one axon and many dendrites to receive and integrate incoming signals from other neurons.
