Question

1. match the parts of a neuron with the correct locations on the diagram.

exon
synapse
dendrite

Explanation:

1. Dendrites (c): These are the branching, tree-like structures extending from the cell body that receive signals from other neurons.
2. Cell Body (a): The main part of the neuron containing the nucleus, labeled here as the central blue/orange structure.
3. Axon (A): The long, cable-like projection that carries electrical signals away from the cell body, wrapped in a myelin sheath (the segmented orange structure here).
4. Synapse (D): The small gap between the axon terminals of one neuron and the dendrites/cell body of another, where signals are transmitted.

Answer:

• a: Cell Body (implied matching, as it is the central structure not listed in the dropdown but completes the neuron parts)
• c: dendrite
• A: axon
• D: synapse
