Answer 1

The correct answer is Neuron

Key Points

Dendrons are branched projections of a neuron (nerve cell).
They conduct the electrochemical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell body, or soma, of the neuron.
The main function of dendrons is to receive signals from other neurons and convey this information to the cell body.
They play a critical role in the neural communication process within the nervous system.

Additional Information

Neurons are the fundamental units of the brain and nervous system, responsible for receiving sensory input from the external world, sending motor commands to muscles, and transforming and relaying electrical signals at every step in between.
A neuron typically consists of a cell body (soma), dendrites, and an axon.
Neurons communicate with each other through synapses, where the axon terminal of one neuron is in close proximity to the dendrite of another.
Neurons are classified into three main types based on their function: sensory neurons, motor neurons, and interneurons.
