Question
Chapter 2, Problem 1TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
A neuron or nerve cell is the longest cell of the human body. Its function is to carry and transmit electrical signals. All the neurons together with brain and spinal cord constitute the nervous system of the body.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1TY
Correct answer:
Dendrite is the part of neuron which receives message from other cells. Therefore, option b. is correct.
Option b. is given as “dendrite”.
Explanation of Solution
Reasons for the correct statement:
A neuron is composed of an axon, a cell body, and dendrites. Dendrites are branched extensions present on a nerve cell. Their role is to receive electrical impulses from other cells.
Hence, option b. is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option a. is given as “axon”.
Axon is basically the longest dendrite of a neuron. It does not receive messages from other cells, but it conducts electrical impulses. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option c. is given as “soma”.
Soma refers to the cell body of the neuron. It also does not receive electrical signals from other cells. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option d. is given as “myelin”.
Myelin is a sheath that covers the axon. It increases the speed of signal transmission. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options a., c., and d. are incorrect.
Conclusion
Dendrites receive messages or electrical impulses from other cells.

- Daniels, A. C. (2016). Bringing out the best in people: How to apply the astonishing power of positive reinforcement (3rd ed.). Chapter 4. Think about this. You have been asked to help the staff at a Jiffy Lube to reduce frequency of errors and complaints with oil changes. You determine that the staff there aren’t entirely clear on all of the steps that go into changing oil, or the correct order in which to do them. So, you write a task analysis for changing oil. Step by step, you list, in order of implementation, the pinpointed movements a staff member must do to change the oil in a car or truck. Errors are reduced, but not greatly. (For example, sometimes the oil is overfilled and sometimes underfilled; sometimes the oil pan plug is too loose, and the oil pan drips oil; and sometimes it’s too tight, and the threads are stripped.) You have specified a bunch of antecedent conditions in your task analysis.
