The dendrite of a neuron usually receives a chemical signal from another neuron, although a cell body (soma), or sometimes even an axon, of another neuron can receive the signal.Synapses which occur between an axon and a dendrite are called axodendritic synapses, while synapses between an axon and a cell body are called axosomatic synapses, and synapses between an axon and an axon are called axoaxonic synapses.

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
No, not at all. The axon is the transmitting end of a neuron, and a dendrite is the receiving beginning of another neuron.The axon sends its signal "through" a synapse between the axon terminal and a dendrite via chemicals called neurotransmitters that it releases into the synaptic space, which diffuse to and are taken into structures on dendrites called ligand-gated ion pores, which open to allow sodium ions into the dendrite, which change its electrical charge, which initiates the propagation of a corresponding signal along the dendrite and cell body toward the axon hillock, which, if enough signals from dendrites reach it, will then fire and send the nerve signal onward along the axon, as an action potential.
The nerve axon is the main nerve from where the dendrites originate.

A synapse is the connection between a dendrite and an axon.

Synapse.
Usually from the axon of one nerve to the dendrite of another. The axon sends impulses away from the nerve body, and the dendrite receives impulses from other nerves.
