Question

A single long fibre called _________ extend from the cell body.

Answer 1

Neuron has three parts- cell body, dendrites and axon.

1. The cell body contains the nucleus.
2. Many short fibres called dendrons arise from the cell body. They further divide to form dendrites. Dendrites receive messages from other neurons.
3. A single, long fibre called axon extends from the other side of the neuron. It carries messages from the cell body of one neuron to another.

Final answer: A single long fibre called axon extend from the cell body.
