Neurons or nerve cells are the structural and functional units of nervous system. A typical neuron has three components: cell body or cyton, dendrons or dendrites and axon.
Cell body is the broader, round polygonal or stellate part which contains nucleus and various cell organelles. Cell body bears shot branched process called dendrites. Dendrites possess Nissl granules, neurofibrils, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, and Golgi vesicles.
Dendrites transmit impulses from synapses to the cell body.
Axon is long process which develops from a conical prolongation of cyton called axon hillock. Cytoplasm of axon called axoplasm. It is devoid of Nissl granules and Golgi components. Axon branched distantly. Axon carries the impulse away from the cell body.

Like dendrites, they are also protoplasmic projections of nerve cells, or neurons, and their primary purpose is to conduct electrochemical impulses away from the cell body of neurons. Most nerve cells only have a single axon. ... Basically, axons' role is to transmit signals, and dendrites to receive such signals. HOPE IT HELPS....PLZZ MARK IT AS BRAINLIST.....
