• Send messages to muscles

• Carry signals between neurons

• Pick up information from the body or environment

What part of the neuron receives information?

• Axon

• Cell body

• Synapse

• Dendrite

• A hormone

• A bone movement

What is the synapse?

• The start of the axon

• The place where neurons store oxygen

• A gap between two neurons
