Question

Each neuron has a single long part called the ___and many short branches parts called ___​

Answer 1

Each neuron has a single long part called axons and many short branches are called dendrites.

Explanation:

• Neurons are the fundamental units of the nervous system.
• All neurons possess a cell body, axons, and dendrites.
• The nucleus and the cytoplasm are contained in the cell body.
• From the body of the cell, a single long part called an axon elongates and gives rise to many small branches called dendrites.
• Dendrites are responsible for communicating with other neurons.
• These dendrites are covered with synapses and these are the contact points among neurons.
