AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, axon transfers the signal/impulse and the dendrite receives the impulse from other neurons.

Detailed explanation-2: -An axon, or nerve fibre, is a long slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron’s cell body or soma. Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles, they help make up nerves.

Detailed explanation-3: -The dendrites are tree-like structures. Their job is to receive signals from other neurons and from special sensory cells that tell us about our surroundings.

Detailed explanation-4: -The axon, also called a nerve fiber, is a tail-like structure of the neuron which joins the cell body at a junction called the axon hillock. The function of the axon is to carry signals away from the cell body to the terminal buttons, in order to transmit electrical signals to other neurons.

Detailed explanation-5: -The site where dendrites receive signals from other neurons is the Synapses. This information is then processed in the Cell Body/Soma, and if the signal is strong enough, the message is pushed through and travels down the Axon.
