Of the 4 basic tissue types found in the body, the tissue typethat is composed of _________ cells, also known as neurons, is thetype that is specialized to generate and propagate electrochemicalmessages that enable communication between cells in very distantlocations.

The part of a nerve cell that contains the nucleus along withthe bulk of the cell's cytoplasm and other cellular organelles iscalled the soma or ____________. The bulk of the cell signalscoming to the nerve cell are received in this region.

______________ are cellular projections that serve to increasethe receptive surface area of the nerve cell; that is, incomingsignals are also received in these areas and then immediatelytransferred to the cell body. When these structures projectdirectly from the cell body, they are '_____' anatomic dendrites.When they are located at some distance from the cell body but bringinformation directly to the soma - they are '___________'dendrites. Neurons often have multiple dendrites.

While neurons often contain multiple dendrites to bringinformation into the cells, each has a single _________ responsiblefor transmitting information from the cell body to the intendedrecipient of the neuron's message.
