Question

Select INCORRECT statement about dendrons.

• A. Dendrons are many small conical processes.
• B. Nissl's granules and neurofibrils are present.
• C. Transmit impulses towards cyton.
• D. They give out lateral branches called collaterals.

Hint:

Collaterals arise from axons, not dendrons.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Concept
A neuron has a cyton, dendrons and an axon. Each has its own features.

Step 2: Check the statements
Dendrons are several short tapering processes.
They contain Nissl's granules and neurofibrils, and they carry impulses towards the cyton.

Step 3: Find the wrong one
Lateral branches called collaterals arise from the axon, not from dendrons. So that statement is incorrect.

Final Answer:
The incorrect statement is that dendrons give out collaterals. \[ \boxed{\text{(D) }\text{They give out lateral branches called collaterals.}} \]
