Which is true about the neuron? a. Dendrites are the only part of the neuron that receive electrical signals and send them to the cell body and axon. b. If a neuron's cell body gets damaged, it cannot regenerate since it does not have any centrioles. c. Synaptic vesicles, which contain neurotransmitters, are stored inside the cell body/neurosoma of the neurons. d. All are correct.

Step 1
Dendrites are indeed the part of the neuron that receive electrical signals and send them to the cell body and axon. So, this statement is true. b. Neurons generally have a limited ability to regenerate, but this is not due to the absence of centrioles. Some Show more…

Which of the following is true regarding nerve cells? (A) Which of the following is true regarding nerve cells? (B) Interneurons are also referred to as afferent neurons. (C) Motor neurons transmit information from receptors to the brain. (D) Sensory neurons transmit information from receptors to the brain.
Choose the incorrect statement: a. Neurotransmitters diffuse across the myelin sheath. b. In an inhibitory synapse, the neurotransmitter makes it less likely that an action potential will be generated in the postsynaptic (after the synapse) neuron. c. Neurotransmitters are stored in synaptic vesicles. d. Most interneurons are found in the central nervous system.
