The dendrites are the part of the neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They branch out from the cell body and act as the main input sites for receiving information from neighboring neurons.
There are actually 3 parts to a neuron. The dendrites are tree branch like projections that receive nerve impulses from another neuron, the cell body that contains the nucleus, and the axon, a long fiber that carries the nerve impulse away from the cell body to the next neuron.
Axons are long, slender projections of a neuron that transmit electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body. They are typically found in the region of the neuron extending from the axon hillock, where action potentials are generated, and can branch out to communicate with multiple target cells. The axon is crucial for relaying signals over long distances, making it an essential component of the nervous system's communication network.
A neuron can have at most one axon. However, an axon can branch - sometimes many times.
The axon is the part of the neuron that can carry information for long distances.
The first part of the neuron to receive an impulse from an adjacent neuron is the dendrites. Dendrites are branch-like structures that extend from the neuron's cell body and are specialized to receive signals from other neurons. When a neurotransmitter is released from the adjacent neuron's axon terminal, it binds to receptors on the dendrites, initiating an electrical impulse that travels through the neuron.

A nerve cell, or neuron, is long and branching.
The address of the Long Branch Public Library is: 328 Broadway, Long Branch, 07740 6938
The parts of a generic neuron are:- soma - cell body axon - upto 1 meter long dendrite - many
The long trunk of a neuron is called an axon. The axon is responsible for conducting electrical impulses away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
