The answer is the third one: dendrite.

Explanation for each option:

  • Axon: This part of the neuron is responsible for transmitting messages away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. It does not receive messages.

  • Soma: Also known as the cell body, the soma contains the nucleus and is responsible for maintaining the life of the cell. It processes information but is not primarily responsible for receiving messages from other neurons.

  • Dendrite: Dendrites are the structures on the neuron that receive messages from other neurons. They are designed to receive chemical signals from the synaptic cleft and convert them into electrical impulses.

  • Terminal: The terminal, or axon terminal, is the end part of the axon that releases neurotransmitters to send messages to the next neuron. It is involved in sending, not receiving, messages.

In summary, dendrites are the parts of the neuron that receive messages from other neurons.
