The Three Main Parts of a Neuron Are the Dendrites

question 174

Multiple Choice

The three main parts of a neuron are the dendrites, cell body, and axon. The dendrites receive information from other neurons and pass it along to the cell body. The cell body decides whether the information should be passed on to other neurons. If it decides it should, then it does so by means of an electrical impulse that travels down the axon. When the impulse reaches the axon terminals, it triggers chemical communication with other neurons. Richard Griggs, Psychology: A Concise Introduction
