Best Answer

Actually all cells can send and receive signals. For example every cell has a CD95(FASr) which receives signals from natural killer cells or T cells and results in cell death. Also all cells send signals through cell membrane receptors to neighboring cells. These signals prevent neighboring cell colonies from growing too big.(The lack of these signals is one of the problems with certain cancer cells)

What is Half- duplex?

Half duplex communication means that a system may transmit and receive signals, but not at the same time. It has to switch over from transmit to receive, and vice-versa. Think of an analogy of a walkie-talkie; when you press the transmit button you cannot hear or receive a message until you release the transmit button.


What is an alternative term for an axon?

Dendrites: Unlike most axons, they receive signals from other neurons and pass the messages to the cell body of the neuron. Axons transmit impulses away from the cell body toward the axon endings/ terminals
