The space between two connecting neurons is called a synapse.
An axon sends signal from dendrites to terminals to release neurotransmitters
dendrites -Apex
Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and pass them to the cell body, which then transmits the signal to the axon. The axon is supported by structures called neurofilaments and microtubules that help maintain its structure and facilitate the transport of materials within the axon.
Dendrites are extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons and transmit those signals to the cell body. They play a crucial role in integrating incoming information and facilitating communication between different neurons in the nervous system.
As far as I understand it, the purpose of the axon is to transmit the electrical impulses (information) of the presynaptic dendrites away from the cell body. The axon therefore acts as a sort of barrier between the postsynaptic dendrites, as it is kind of a one-way street from the cell body to the postsynaptic dendrites. As for why this is necessary, I have no clue. I would assume that if electrical information were to get caught up and stuck somewhere in the cell that it might be damaging to the neuron itself. The purpose of the axon would ultimately be to get the electrical information from the cell body to the postsynaptic dendrites so that chemical production on the neurotransmitter takes place.
A "synape" is a misspelled synapse.
The junction between a motor neruon's axon and the muscle cell membrane is called a neuromuscular junction or a myoneuraljunction?
The three main structures of a neuron are the cell body (soma), dendrites, and axon. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles, the dendrites receive signals from other neurons, and the axon transmits signals to other neurons or cells.
The nerve axon is the main nerve from where the dendrites originate.
There are two: an axon and several dendrites.

The three main parts of a nueron are: the dendrites, the axon, and the cell body.
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.
