Which statements explain how branched dendrites help a generalized neuron receive signals? Select all that apply.
They provide numerous sites where incoming signals can be received.✓Correct answer
They form a rigid wall that fixes the neuron's shape.
Their branches can receive input from several other cells.✓Correct answer
They serve as the neuron's main long-distance output fibre.
Explanation
Branching gives dendrites many contact regions and allows input from multiple other cells to reach the neuron. Long-distance output is mainly associated with the axon, so assigning that principal role to dendrites confuses two neuronal regions.
