it is the axons
The message travels through the axon and Schwann cells (which make up the axon) as an electrical message. When it reaches the dendrite, it is converted into a chemical message where it can be picked up by another neuron.
Axon sends the message. Dendrite receives it.
AXON
A message travels through a neuron in the following order: dendrites receive the signal, the signal is passed through the cell body (soma), travels down the axon, and finally reaches the synaptic terminals where it is transmitted to the next neuron.

Dendrites receive incoming information from axon terminals.
From the dendrites and axon.
the function of neurons is to receive information, process it, and pass it on to other neurons, or muscles or endocrine/exocrine glands. I realize 'receive information, process it, and pass it on' is a giant and amorphous description, but the description of the behavior of organisms with neurons is also giant and amorphous.
The axon
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.
Well, isn't that just a happy little question! When a message travels within a neuron, it starts at the dendrites, moves through the cell body, and then down the axon. Finally, it reaches the axon terminals where it can pass on to the next neuron. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, each step is important in creating a masterpiece of communication in our brains.
the two types are anterograde transport and retrograde transport. anterograde is the flow of new or recycled cell products from the soma to the axon terminals for growth or regeneration in the axon. retrograde is the return from the axon terminal back to the soma so products can be degraded or recycled.
