Solution
Neuron:
Neurons are the basic components of the brain and nervous system, the cells in charge of absorbing sensory information from the outside world, giving motor orders to our muscles, and changing and relaying electrical impulses at every step in between.
The cytoplasm is responsible for supporting and suspending organelles and cellular components.
Dendrites are cytoplasmic structures that extend from the cell body.
Dendrites are normally short and branching, but not always, increasing the surface area available to receive messages from other neurons.
