Question

The long tube-like structure that carries the neural message to other cells on the neuron is the ___________________. On a neuron, the branch-like structures that receive messages from other neurons is the ___________________. The cell body of the neuron, responsible for maintaining the life of the cell and contains mitochondria is the ___________________.

Answer 1

Axon

Dendrite

Soma

Step-by-step explanation:

An axon is a long slender tube-like structure that carries neural messages in form of electrical impulses away from a neuron's body cell to other cells on the neuron. Axon helps to transfer information to different neurons.

On the other hand, Dendrites are branched extensions of a nerve cell that contains protoplasm, they helps in propagation of electrical and chemical impulse or signals received from another neural cell.

Soma also known as the Cell Body houses a mitochondria which helps to maintain the life of the cell.
