What is the function of the dendrites?

• They transmit signals

• They receive signals, which are neurotransmitters, on their receptors

• They prevent neurotransmitters from damaging the neuron

What information is the soma "putting together"?

• the information from the dendrites

• the nucleus information

• the neurotransmitters

When can the axon hillock pass on the signal?

• when the signal is strong enough

• when their is any signal

What is the signal called when it reaches the axon?

• action potential

• axon hillock

• axon terminal

What helps the signal from degrading (decreasing)?

• axon hillock

• myelin

• soma

What is released from the axon terminals when the action potential reaches it?

• dendrites

• buttons

• neurotransmitters
