What else can I help you with?
What is the input structure of the neuron?
Dendrites.
What are extensions of a neuron that receive signals?
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.
What are the short fibers that extend from the neuron called?
The short fibers that extend from a neuron are called dendrites. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body of the neuron.
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.
What is the microscopic space that separates the axon of one neuron from the dendrites of another neuron?
The microscopic space that separates the axon terminal of one neuron from the dendrites of another neuron is called the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft to communicate with the dendrites of the neighboring neuron.
What is the input structure of the neuron?
Dendrites.
What structure of a neuron is capable of propagating an electrical impulse?
the dendrites are
What is the function of the dendrites in the neuron?
The dendrites receive the data or signal from another neuron for the soma.
What are extensions of a neuron that receive signals?
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.
What are the short fibers that extend from the neuron called?
The short fibers that extend from a neuron are called dendrites. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body of the neuron.
What type of neuron has many dendrites?
multipolar neuron
Axons and dendrites is another word for?
Axons are the output element of a neuron, and dendrites are the input elements of a neuron.

Number of parts in a neuron?
It depends on the neuron. They all have a cell body. They have dendrites and some have dendrites plus axon(s).
What is the microscopic space that separates the axon of one neuron from the dendrites of another neuron?
The microscopic space that separates the axon terminal of one neuron from the dendrites of another neuron is called the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft to communicate with the dendrites of the neighboring neuron.
What is the part of the neuron that receives signals?
The dendrites are the part of the neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They branch out from the cell body and act as the main input sites for receiving information from neighboring neurons.
The cell body of a neuron collects information from which structure?
The part of the neuron that picks up information and sends it to the cell body is the dendrite. Electrical stimulation is transmitted by upstream neurons onto dendrites, and the dendrites integrate and determine the extent to which action potentials are produced.
