Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Afferent, or sensory, neurons carry impulses from peripheral sense receptors to the CNS. They usually have long dendrites and relatively short axons. Efferent, or motor, neurons transmit impulses from the CNS to effector organs such as muscles and glands.
