Question

1. the long projection that extends out from the soma or cell body and transmits neural signals is known as the: a. dendrite b. axon c. synapse d. myelin heath 5. the ________ is a small space between two neurons and is the site where neurotransmitters communicate. a. axon button b. receptor c. nodes of ranvier d. synaptic cleft

Explanation:

Dendrites are long projections from the soma that receive neural signals. Axons transmit signals away from the soma. The synaptic cleft is the small space between two neurons for neurotransmitter - communication. Nodes of Ranvier are parts of myelinated axons. A receptor is a structure that can bind to neurotransmitters.

Answer:

1. A. dendrite
2. D. synaptic cleft
