GENERAL HISTOLOGY

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: -axon, also called nerve fibre, portion of a nerve cell (neuron) that carries nerve impulses away from the cell body. A neuron typically has one axon that connects it with other neurons or with muscle or gland cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Typical neurons have several dendrites-branching processes that conduct impulses toward the cell body, and a single axon-a long straight process that conducts impulses away from the cell body. Axons are often referred to as nerve fibers.
