Question

Which structures are highlighted? O dendrites nissl bodies axons cell bodies

Answer 1

The highlighted structure is a "dendrite".

Dendrite is a short branched extension of a nerve cell, along which impulses received from other cells at synapses are transmitted to the cell body.

Axon is the long part of a nerve cell along which impulses are conducted from the cell body to other cells.

Nissl bodies are a large granular body found in neurons. These granules are of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) with rosettes of free ribosomes, and are the site of protein synthesis.

Cell body of neurons is the spherical part of the neuron that contains the nucleus and connects to the dendrites which bring information into the neuron and the axon, which sends information to other neurons.
