Synapses. Net flow of charged ions ("impulses") in neuronal cells trigger additional ion flow (ionotropic signaling) or neurotransmitter release (metabotropic signaling) to both neuronal and non-neuronal cell types ("the body") at junctions called synapses.
The axon is the portion of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses.
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
Dendrite toward the cell body, axon away from the cell body.
Afferent neurons do this. Efferent do the opposite. It does not matter which system the neurons belong to i.e. Automonic vs. sympathetic. This is a general definition of the direction which nerve impulses are conducting. Afferent nerves are more commonly but less accurately known as sensory nerves.
The dendrites are the "input" portion of the neuron, collecting signals from other neurons. However, the axon is the "output" portion of the neuron, sending signals to other neurons.
Nerves are like trees. The have branches call axons.
An axon will carry nerve impulses away from the cell body.
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
Dendrite toward the cell body, axon away from the cell body.
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
There is one way conduction of impulse into the neuron, from dendrites to nerve body to axon.
potassuimaxon terminals transmit info from their neuron to another, while dendrites receive info from other neurons.
The dendrites carry impulses to the neuron's cell body. The axon carries impulses away from the cell body.

The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.
A neuron is a single unit of nerve fiber. Most neurons jobs are to allow chemical and electrical impulses to pass from one part of the body to the other. Neurons in the brain function the same way, sending impulses back and forth.
Dendrite
Transmit messages (nerve impulses) from one part of the body to another
