Nerve fibre is different from the muscle fibre due to the presence of:
Correct answer: D. Dendrites
- A. Myofibrils
- B. Lines
- C. Sarcolemma
- D. Dendrites
Explanation
Dendrites are specialized extensions of nerve cells that receive electrical signals from other nerve cells and transmit them towards the cell body. They are a distinctive feature of nerve cells and are not present in muscle fibers. Therefore, option d is correct.

About Neurons and Nerve Impulse
Neurons receive and transmit information through dendrites, the cell body and axons. The topic explains resting potential, depolarization, repolarization, refractory periods and saltatory conduction, followed by synaptic transmission through neurotransmitters. An action potential is distinct from the graded potential produced at a receptor.
