Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrites are extensions, or processes, of the cytoplasm that carry impulses to the cell body. An extension or process called an axon carries impulses away from the cell body.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Synapse The place where the axon of one neuron meets the dendrite of another is called a synapse. Synapses are also found between neurons and other types of cells, such as muscle cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sensory neurons are the neurons that carry impulses from receptor to the brain where the sensation is interpreted. Sensory neurons are afferent neurons since they take the sensation/stimulus towards the CNS, that is, the brain and the spinal cord.
