Question

Projections of a neuron which conduct electrical messages to the neuron cell body for the cell to function are known as ___.

Answer 1

Dendrites are projections of a neuron (nerve cell) that receive signals (information) from other neurons. The transfer of information from one neuron to another is achieved through chemical signals and electric impulses, that is, electrochemical signals. It conducts the electrical messages to the neuron cell body which enable it to function.
