AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An axon is a long single fiber that transmits messages from the cell body to the dendrites of other neurons or to other body tissues, such as muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dendrites receive messages from other neurons. Axon sends messages from the cell body to the dendrites of other neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurons Communicate via the Synapse Information from one neuron flows to another neuron across a small gap called a synapse (SIN-aps). At the synapse, electrical signals are translated into chemical signals in order to cross the gap. Once on the other side, the signal becomes electrical again.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dendrites bring electrical signals to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body. Neurons communicate with each other through an electrochemical process. Neurons contain some specialized structures (for example, synapses) and chemicals (for example, neurotransmitters).

Detailed explanation-5: -Dendrites are tree-like extensions at the beginning of a neuron that help increase the surface area of the cell body. These tiny protrusions receive information from other neurons and transmit electrical stimulation to the soma. Dendrites are also covered with synapses.
