Which neuronal process primarily receives chemical signals from other cells?
Dendrite (B) is the right choice. This sits at the heart of Neuron; Structure and Function: the wording points straight to what is happening in the tissue or organ system. A useful study habit is to ask what the structure or process is for: the functional job described in the stem is exactly what Dendrite does in Neuron; Structure and Function. That reasoning supports Dendrite. One solid sentence about why this works is enough for recall — you do not need a long essay for every MCQ. When you practise, cover the choices first, write Dendrite from memory, then reveal the letter — that habit builds real recall for Neuron; Structure and Function.
