The three main parts of a neuron are the soma (cell body), the axons, the long trailing output of a neuron and the dendrite or dendritic tree. Almost all neurons have axons, but not all axons have a dendritic tree.

It depends on what you mean by 'main'. The AXON is the part which CONVEYS the neural impulse, which could be thought of as the main FUNCTION of the neuron. But the DENDRITES are the parts which assess whether the neuron has been stimulated enough to fire the axon, which is another fundamental function of some neurons. And the BODY (soma) of the neuron is very much a 'main' part of the neuron, because without it the neuron would die.
A neuron has three basic parts, the cell body, the axon, and the dendrites.For more info, see the related link below.
The function of a neuron is to transfer messages throughout the brain. These neurons are all attached and interpret everything that happens.
This is just terminology. Neuron = 'nerve cell'
The most common central nervous system neuron is the multipolar neuron. It functions in the brain by receiving and transmitting electrical signals, allowing for communication between different parts of the brain and the rest of the body.
Dendrites are the branched projections of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They contain receptors that detect neurotransmitters released by neighboring neurons. The main function of dendrites is to integrate and transmit these signals to the cell body of the neuron.
The dendrites receive the data or signal from another neuron for the soma.
The three main parts of a nueron are: the dendrites, the axon, and the cell body.
The dendrites portion of a neuron will generate a potential.
Axon
Five parts of a reflex arc are the receptor, sensory neuron (afferent), integration center, motor neuron (efferent), and effector.
