Question 5 • 26-27 Ignite Health Science Concepts - EL3602

Which of the statements about neurons are true? Select all that apply.

Answer
A
Neurons look identical to each other.
B
Neurons have dendrites, axons, and axon terminals.
C
Neurons fight infection.
D
Neurons send and receive information.
E
Neurons are only located in the brain.

Explanation

Neurons typically have dendrites that receive signals, an axon that carries signals, and axon terminals that pass signals to other cells, so B is true. Neurons send and receive information throughout the nervous system, so D is true. Neurons come in different shapes, do not fight infection as their main role, and are found outside the brain as well, making A, C, and E false.
