Biology - Neural Control and Coordination Question with Solution | TestHub

Dendrons are short, tapering, and highly branched processes extending from the cyton (cell body) of a neuron. They contain Nissl's granules and neurofibrils, and their primary function is to receive signals and transmit nerve impulses towards the cyton.

Axons, not dendrons, give out lateral branches which are known as axon collaterals. Therefore, the statement that dendrons give out lateral branches called collaterals is incorrect.

Answer: They give out lateral branches called collaterals.
