ANSWER: False

2. Neurons receive information and transmit it to other cells.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: True

3. Santiago Ramón y Cajal used special staining techniques to reveal that the brain is composed of individual cells.

, a. True
b. False
ANSWER: True

4. An efferent axon carries information away from a structure.
a. True
b. False
ANSWER: True

5. The greater the surface area of a dendrite, the more information it can receive from other neurons.
