How did you go? It looks like you have got some of the answers wrong.

Here is a diagram of a neuron for you to review:

And here are the answers to the multiple choice questions:

The part of the neuron that receives messages from other neurons is the Dendrite. Dendrites extend out from the cell body and receive messages from other nerve cells.

The direction an electrical signal moves is: Cell body, Axon, Dendrite, which is cell body to axon to terminal buttons.

The part of the neuron that sends messages to other neurons is the Axon. An axon is a long single fiber that transmits messages from the cell body to the dendrites of other neurons or to other body tissues, such as muscles.

The branch like structures are called Dendrites.
