Neurons

What is the function of the soma in a neuron?

• Transmit electrical signals

• Store genetic information

• Protect the neuron

• Connect neurons to muscles

Which part of the neuron is responsible for transmitting electrical signals away from the cell body?

• Dendrites

• Axon

• Myelin sheath

• Axon terminals

What is the primary function of sensory neurons?
