AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrites transmit impulses from synapses to the cell body. Axon is a long process which develops from a conical prolongation of cyton called axon hillock .

Detailed explanation-2: -The dendrites carry impulses toward the cell body. The axon carries impulses away from the cell body. Axons and dendrites are sometimes called nerve fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurons are cells that have been adapted to carry nerve impulses. A typical neuron has a cell body containing a nucleus, one or more branching filaments called dendrites which conduct nerve impulses towards the cell body and one long fibre, an axon, that carries the impulses away from it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neurotransmitters travel across the synapse between the axon and the dendrite of the next neuron. Neurotransmitters bind to the membrane of the dendrite. The binding allows the nerve impulse to travel through the receiving neuron.
