The neuron is composed of _________, which transmit signals toward the cell body, and a(n) _________, which transmits signals away from the cell body.

The dendrites receive signals and transmit them toward the cell body of the neuron while an axon transmits signals away from the cell body. Typically, each neuron has multiple dendrites, one cell body, and one axon. Filaments are part of muscle cells, not neurons.
