Question

Nerve cells do not contain________________.
A)Axon
B)Nerve endings
C)Tendons
D)Dendrites

Answer 1

Hint: A neuron is an electrically excitable cell that, through specialized connections called synapses, interacts with other cells. Of all species, other than sponges and placozoa, it is the main component of the nervous tissue. There are no nervous cells in plants and fungi.

Complete answer:
Tendons belong to a type of connective tissue that binds bones to muscles. Nervous tissue comprises axons, dendrites and nerve endings. Neurons, also known as nerve cells, transmit messages from the brain and absorb them. While neurons have a lot in common with other cell types, they are distinct structurally and functionally. Specialized projections called axons cause electrical and chemical signals to be transferred to other cells by neurons. Based on their function, neurons are usually divided into three groups. Sensory neurons respond to stimuli that affect the cells of the sensory organs, such as touch, sound or light, and transmit signals to the spinal cord or brain. In order to regulate anything from muscle contractions to glandular production, motor neurons receive signals from the brain and spinal cord. Within the same area of the brain or spinal cord, interneurons attach neurons to other neurons. A neural circuit is considered a network of connected neurons.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C)

Note: Although the axon and axon hillock are normally involved in the outflow of data, other neurons may also obtain feedback from this area. The axon terminal is located farthest away from the soma at the end of the axon and comprises synapses. Synaptic buttons are specialized devices in which chemicals from neurotransmitters are released to interact with target neurons.
