Both axon and dendrites are a part of neuron which is found in the nervous system. But they do have some contrasting characters. The maindifference between an axon and adendrite is, dendrites receive messages from other cells while axonspasses messages from the cell body to other neurons, muscles orglands.

Axon:
Only one axon is present in a neuron.
It is a thin long process of uniform thickness and smooth surface.
The branches of axon are fewer and at right angles to the axon.
Axon contains neurofibrils and no Nissl’s granules.
It forms the efferent component of the impulse.
Dendrite:
Dendrites are usually multiple in number in a neuron.
These are short multiple processes. Their thickness diminishes as these divide repeatedly. The branches are studded with spiny projections.
The dendrites branch profusely and are given off at acute angles.
Dendrites contain both neurofibrils and Nissl’s granules.
Dendrites form the afferent component of the impulse
