Answer 1

■ Difference Between Dendrites and Axons

AxonsDendritesNumberOnly one axon per nerve cellMany dendrites in a nerve cellArises FromThe discharging end of a neuronThe receiving end of a neuronLengthLonger than dendritesComparatively shorter than axonsThicknessUniformly thick throughout its lengthEdges taper off into branch-like structuresNeurofibrilsPresentPresentNissl’s GranulesAbsentPresentDirection of ConductionConducts impulses away from the cell body (soma)Conducts impulses towards the cell bodyThe terminal branches end in a knotKnots are not formed

Answer 2

Explanation:

The main difference between Neuron and Axon is that the Neuron is a electrically excitable cell and Axon is a The long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter
