axon.
dendrite.
soma.
glia.

Explanation:

1. For the first question: White blood cells are part of the immune system, glia support nervous system cells, neurilemmas are protective sheaths around nerve fibers, while neurons are the cells that receive, integrate, and communicate information in the nervous system.
2. For the second question: Dendrites receive signals, soma is the neuron cell body, glia are support cells, and axons are the long fibers that carry signals from the neuron to other cells.

Answer:

1. neurons.
2. axon.
