Nervous Tissue

What is the function of the dendrite of the neuron?

• a long projection that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body

• a long projection that conducts electrical impulses toward the cell body

• tree-like structures that receive messages from other neurons

• tree-like structures that transfers messages to other neurons

• space between the neurons where the electrical impulse "jumps"

What is the function of the synapse?

• tree-like structures that receive messages from other neurons

• tree-like structures that transfers messages to other neurons

• space between the neurons where the electrical impulse "jumps"
