Which structure will be the first to receive a stimulus? Which structure will store neurotansmitters? a. A b. B 4. None is correct c. C d. D e. 5. Identify structure "D" on the neuron. A. Schwann cell B. Node of Ranvier D. dendrites E. axon C. neuron cell body (soma)

Explanation / Answer

1. Dendrites. They are the branched projections of the neuron. They help in the detection of the stimulus.

2. Node of ranvier. It is the periodic gap in the myelin sheath in the neuron.

3. The correct answer is option a. The dendrites are the part of the neuron that detect the stimulus.

4. The correct answer is option b. Synaptic vesicle is a membrane-enclosed sac in a synaptic end bulb that stores neurotransmitters.

5. The correct answer is option E. Axon is a long projection of nerve cell.
