Cytoplasmic extensions of neurons that act as an antennae for the reception of nerve impulses from other nerve cells are called dendrites. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit these signals to the cell body of the neuron.
Smooth muscle is capable of transmitting impulses along its cytoplasmic extensions due to the presence of gap junctions, which allow for direct cell-to-cell communication. This feature enables coordinated contractions in smooth muscle tissue.
The extension from a nerve cell that carries impulses toward the nerve is a dendrite
true
The cytoplasmic projections of a neuron that receive information are called dendrites. Dendrites are branch-like extensions that increase the surface area available for synaptic contacts with other neurons, allowing them to receive chemical signals and transmit electrical impulses toward the cell body. These structures play a crucial role in processing and integrating incoming signals, contributing to the overall function of the neuron.
Short branched extensions that carry impulses towards the nerve cell body are called dendrites.

Dendrites are the extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They are responsible for transmitting electrical impulses towards the cell body of the neuron.
Any of the various branched protoplasmic extensions of a nerve cell that conducts impulses from adjacent cells inward toward the cell body.
Short branched extensions that carry impulses towards the nerve cell body are called dendrites. Dendrites receive incoming signals and transmit them to the cell body, where the information is integrated before being passed on to other neurons. They play a critical role in the communication between neurons within the nervous system.
The characteristic of a nerve cell that relates directly to its function in receiving and transmitting nerve impulses is its king extensions. Cells are limited in size by the rate at which substances needed by the cell can enter the cell through the surface.
