The parts of a generic neuron are:-
soma - cell body
axon - upto 1 meter long
dendrite - many

These are called dendrites as they look like the branches of trees.It sounds like you're describing a synaptic transmission.
Neuron
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
they are star shaped
A neuron is basically associated with pretty much everything, as the neuron is in the brain and it is a nerve cell so it is what carries the electrical impulses like pain and the feeling sensation.
the neuron is composed of 4 parts the cell body which contains the nucleus the axon which carry the information and the terminal button which distribute the neurons the dendrites which are the branches that come out.... the dendrites receive the signal.
The part of the neuron that receives the majority of inputs is the dendritic tree. In most neurons its appearance is very similar to what a tree would look like in Autumn with no leaves. The part that carries information away and toward the dendrites of other cells is called the axon. There is only one axon per neuron and they can vary quite considerably in their length.
cell body
It has lost its myelin sheath (clothes) so it can no longer be used to send messages from the brain to other parts of the body.
The Inter-neuron (also known as the local circuit neuron, relay neuron or the association neuron) is the neuron which connects the afferent and the efferent neurons in the neural pathways.
The cells that makes up the nervous system is the Inter-neuron (circuit neuron), sensory neuron and motor neuron.
The reflex arc includes the sensory neuron (sensory intake) to the motor neuron (motor response). This two neuron arc is the fastest. Many times an interneuron at the level of the spinal cord is involved. It passes information to the brain more slowly. It is like an "incident report".
