GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrites extend out from the cell body and receive messages from other nerve cells. An axon is a long single fiber that transmits messages from the cell body to the dendrites of other neurons or to other body tissues, such as muscles. A protective covering called the myelin sheath, covers most neurons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dendrites are tree-like extensions at the beginning of a neuron that help increase the surface area of the cell body. These tiny protrusions receive information from other neurons and transmit electrical stimulation to the soma. Dendrites are also covered with synapses.

Detailed explanation-3: -Parts of a Neuron Neurons also contain unique structures, dendrites and axons, for receiving and sending the electrical signals that make neuronal communication possible: Dendrites: are tree-like structures that extend away from the cell body to receive neurotransmitters from other neurons.
