AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrites receive and integrate signals from other neurons or from sensory stimuli, and conducts a nerve impulse towards the axon or the cell body. In most neurons, the impulse is conveyed from dendrites to axon via the cell body, but in some types of unipolar neuron, the impulse does not travel via the cell body.

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. A bundle of nerve fibers is called a nerve.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrites receive synaptic inputs from axons, with the sum total of dendritic inputs determining whether the neuron will fire an action potential. Spine – The small protrusions found on dendrites that are, for many synapses, the postsynaptic contact site.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dendrites are the first part of a neuron which receives an electrical impulse. The axon carries the message from the cell body or cyton of one neuron to the other or to the target cell.
