The term 'NERVE CELL PART' refers to three components of a nerve cell: an axon (4 letters), a dendrite (8 letters), and a dendron (7 letters). An axon is a long, thin projection of a nerve cell that carries electrical signals away from the cell body. A dendrite is a short, branched projection of a nerve cell that receives signals from other cells. A dendron is a branch of a dendrite that carries signals to the cell body. Together, these three parts of a nerve cell are responsible for transmitting information throughout the body.
