What is the main difference between the functions of a dendrite and an axon in a neuron?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Dendrite receives messages and the axon carries them forward

The governing concept is directional transmission in a neuron. Dendrites are short, branched extensions that receive stimuli or nerve impulses from receptors or nearby neurons. The impulse then passes through the cell body and travels along the axon toward its terminal, where it can affect another cell. Therefore, option B correctly states both functions; the other options assign unrelated functions such as food-making, blood formation, breathing, or water storage.
