MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The dendrite is a treelike extension that receives information from other neurons and transmits electrical stimulation to the soma. The axon is an elongated fibre that transfers information from the soma to the terminal buttons.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The long extension from cyton/cell body/soma of a neuron is called axon. The axon carries the message from the cell body of the one neuron to another.

Detailed explanation-4: -An extension or process called an axon carries impulses away from the cell body.

Detailed explanation-5: -A dendrite (tree branch) is where a neuron receives input from other cells.
