Verified step by step guidance

Understand the structure of a neuron: Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system and consist of several parts, including the soma (cell body), axon, dendrites, and nucleus.

Identify the function of each part: The soma contains the nucleus and is responsible for maintaining the cell. The axon transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body. The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material.

Focus on dendrites: Dendrites are tree-like structures that extend from the neuron and are primarily responsible for receiving messages from other neurons.

Differentiate between receiving and transmitting: While dendrites receive incoming signals, the axon is responsible for transmitting signals to other neurons.

Conclude with the correct answer: Based on the functions of each part, dendrites are the structures that receive messages from other cells.
