Answer:

Dendrites receive electrochemical impulses from other neurons, and carry them inwards and towards the cell body, while axons carry the impulses away from the cell body. ... Usually, dendrites receive neuron signals, and axons transmit them. Most neurons have a lot of dendrites and only have one axon.

Answer:

Axon :-

  • Axon, also called nerve fibre, portion of a nerve cell (neuron) that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body.
  • A neuron typically has one axon that connects it with other neurons or with muscle or gland cells.
  • Some axons may be quite long, reaching .
  • For example, from the spinal cord down to a toe.

Dendrites :-

  • Dendrites are projections of a neuron (nerve cell) that receive signals (information) from other neurons.
  • The transfer of information from one neuron to another is achieved through chemical signals and electric impulses, that is, electrochemical signals.
  • For example, the dendrites of many sensory neurons are sensory endings that transduce signals from the external environment, such as mechanical or chemical stimuli .
