Which part of a neuron receives incoming signals from other neurons?
A

B
Dendrites
C

D
Node of Ranvier
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the basic structure of a neuron, which includes the dendrites, cell body (soma), axon, myelin sheath, and nodes of Ranvier.
Recall that neurons communicate by receiving, processing, and transmitting electrical signals.
Identify that dendrites are the branched extensions of the neuron that primarily function to receive incoming signals from other neurons.
Recognize that the axon is responsible for transmitting signals away from the cell body to other neurons or muscles.
Note that the myelin sheath and nodes of Ranvier are involved in speeding up signal transmission along the axon, not in receiving signals.
