A neuron is an excitable cell, which conveys an electric impulse when adequately stimulated. The structures are: the dendrites (inputs), the cell body (soma), the nucleus, the axon (the output, which can be thin and long up to a meter), with a Myelin sheath on the longer axons (made up of Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system, or oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system, separated along the axon by the Nodes of Ranvier), axon terminal branches, ending with a terminal button which would form the beginning of a synapse when connecting to another neuron, or a motor end plate if connecting to a muscle cell.

Is dendrites a structure of a neuron?
Yes, dendrites are the input structures of a neuron.
Which branching structures carry information toward the cell body of a neuron?
Dendrites
What are the structures that carry messages toward a neuron's cell body?
nerve impulses
What is the input of the neuron structure?
A dendrite (or often a small protrusion from it called a dendritic spine) is the structure of a neuron that is usually the input to the neuron. A synapse is what makes the input to a neuron, via chemical messengers called neurotransmitters. And inputs to a neuron cansometimes be made to the soma (body) of a neuron, or even to the axon. But the dendrites are the "normal" input structures.
Specialized cell that makes up the nervous system?
The cells that makes up the nervous system is the Inter-neuron (circuit neuron), sensory neuron and motor neuron.
Is dendrites a structure of a neuron?
Yes, dendrites are the input structures of a neuron.
How many main structures or groups of structures make up every neuron?

What are the neuron structures that carry impulses to the cell body called?
Dendrites.
name the neuron structures that receive incoming information and the structures through which information exits (or is passed on) from the cell?
Dendrites
What is a part of a neuron affected by multiple sclerosis?
the myelin sheaths. The disease is classified as demyelinating , which is also known as the degeneration of the myelin structures in the neuron.

What are the small branchlike structures of the neuron that receive signals from receptors or other resources?
Dendrite
Which bulb-shaped structures found at the end of neurons form connections with the dendrites and somas of other neurons and allow information to pass from neuron to neuron?
Axon Terminals
What might a neuron have?
Neurons have lots of things. They have the usual cellular apparatus, a membrane, a nucleus, mitochondria, etc. They can also have some distinctive neuron type structures, which are axons and dendrites.
