If a neuron were a tree, the trunk would represent the and the small branch extensions would represent the dendrites; axon axon; dendrites dendrites; cell body

Axon

Dendrite

Explanation:

If a neuron were a tree, the trunk would represent the _axon and the small branch extensions would represent the __dendrites ___. dendrites; axon axon; dendrites dendrites; cell body

If a neuron were a tree, the trunk would represent the cell body and the small branch extensions would represent the dendrites

Explanation:

The structure of a neuron has three main parts – A) Cell body, B) Axon and C) Dendrite. If the structure of neuron is compared with a tree, the dendrites will become the branches, axon will become the root and cell body will become the trunk of the tree.  

The cell body is also called soma and the nucleus lies here where proteins are produced and then transported through the dendrites and axon.
