A very basic explanation would say that axons are the structures of neurons that conduct electrical impulses ("messages") away from the cell body, and that dendrites are the structures of neurons that conduct electrical impulses toward the cell body.
No, neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft between the axon terminal and the dendrite. They then bind to receptor sites on the dendrite to transmit signals from one neuron to another.

The tiny space between each axon tip and the next dendrite or muscle is called a synapse. At the synapse, electrical signals from the axon are transmitted to the dendrite or muscle through the release of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.
The small space between an axon and a dendrite where information is exchanged is called the synapse. At the synapse, neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and bind to receptors on the dendrite of another neuron, facilitating communication between the two. This process is essential for transmitting signals throughout the nervous system.
The axon sending a neuron is separated from the dendrite of the receiving neuron by a synapse. This small gap allows for the transmission of neurotransmitters, which are chemical signals that facilitate communication between neurons. When an electrical impulse reaches the end of the axon, neurotransmitters are released into the synapse and bind to receptors on the dendrite of the receiving neuron, allowing the signal to be propagated.
No, neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft between the axon terminal and the dendrite. They then bind to receptor sites on the dendrite to transmit signals from one neuron to another.
dendrite
The gap between a dendrite and an axon tip is called a synapse. It is a small junction where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal and received by the dendrite to transmit signals between neurons.

Axon, nucleus, and dendrite
Cell body.Impulses a received in the dendrite, go through the cell body and out to the axon, where they are transmitted to the next dendrite. Easy way to remember it, it's the alphabet backwards - Dendrite, Cell Body, Axon
Axon, nucleus, and dendrite
The space between the axon of one cell and a dendrite of another is called the synaptic cleft. This small gap is where neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal of one neuron and received by receptors on the dendrite of another neuron, allowing for communication between the two cells.
The nerve axon is the main nerve from where the dendrites originate.
