Any of the major cytoplasmic process that arise from the cell body of a motor neuron is called _____.

Options:

Dermis

Dekatron

Neurology

Dendron

Correct Answer:

Dendron

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - Dendron

Any of the major cytoplasmic processes that arise from the cell body of a motor neuron is called a Dendron.

Explanation:

  • In the context of neurons, the term "dendron" specifically refers to a major branch extending from the cell body of a neuron. Dendrons are part of the neuron's structure involved in receiving and transmitting signals.
  • Dendrites are the primary sites for receiving signals from other neurons or sensory receptors.
  • Dendrites, along with the cell body and axon, constitute the structural components of a neuron.
  • The term "neurology" refers to the branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the nervous system, and "dermis" is the layer of skin below the epidermis.

In summary, a dendron is a major cytoplasmic process of a motor neuron responsible for receiving signals from other neurons or sensory receptors.
