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.
dendrite
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 dendrites of a neuron receive impulses from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body.
dendrite. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit these signals to the cell body for processing.
Dendrites carry messages to a cell body of a neuron.
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.

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 part of the neuron that carries impulses towards the cell body is called the dendrite.
cell body
The end of one neuron, the presynaptic button, sends messages to other cells by releasing neurotransmitters (chemical messengers) into the synaptic cleft (a small space between two neurons). The other cell, whether it be a neuron, a muscle, a sweat gland, etc., will receive this message at the post synaptic membrane of its cell, and will respond accordingly.
Neural input happens at the dendrites (dendritic tree) of the neuron, but some neurons, notably the sympathetic, can receive input at the axon hillock (where the axon leaves the soma).
Axon sends the message. Dendrite receives it.
The Synaptic signals from other neurons are received by the neuron's soma and dendrites. Synapse's happens when contact is made by one neuron's axon and is received by another neuron's dendrite and soma. The synaptic signaling procedure is vital to positive neuron function.
The dendrites are the part of a neuron that receives messages from other neurons. They receive chemical signals from neighboring neurons and transmit the information to the cell body.
