Dendrites
Axons
The extension from a nerve cell that carries impulses toward the nerve is a dendrite
Dendrites.
The part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
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 nerves that carry impulses toward the brain are called efferent nerves. Afferent nerves carry impulses away. In way to remember this is afferent equals away.
A neuron has a large cell body that contains the nucleus, threadlike extensions called ­dendrites, and an axon. The dendrites carry impulses toward the neuron's cell body. The axon carries impulses away from the cell body. Nerve impulses begin in a dendrite, move toward the cell body, and then move down the axon. A neuron can have many dendrites, but it has only one axon. An axon, however, can have more than one tip, so the impulse can go to more than one other cell.Axons and dendrites are sometimes called nerve fibers. Nerve fibers are often arranged in parallel bundles covered with connective tissue, something like a package of uncooked spaghetti wrapped in cellophane. A bundle of nerve fibers is called a nerve.

Dendrites conduct impulses toward the cell body in a neuron. Dendrites receive incoming signals and pass them on to the cell body for further processing.
Sensory neurons, also known as Afferent neurons carry information toward the CNS.
Dendrites are the structures that receive messages and carry them toward a neuron's cell body. They serve as the main receiving region of a neuron, collecting signals from other neurons and transmitting them to the cell body for further processing.
There is one way conduction of impulse into the neuron, from dendrites to nerve body to axon.
