Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Axon hillock: Once a signal is received by the dendrite, it then travels to the cell body. The cell body contains a specialized structure, the axon hillock that “integrates” signals from multiple synapses and serves as a junction between the cell body and an axon.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The part of the neuron that conducts impulses toward the cell body is called (b) dendrites. The dendrites of a neuron contain receptors on their membranes, where neurotransmitters released from other neurons will bind to.
