PATHOLOGY

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: -Dendrites. Dendrites and axons are cytoplasmic extensions, or processes, that project from the cell body. They are sometimes referred to as fibers. Dendrites are usually, but not always, short and branching, which increases their surface area to receive signals from other neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neurons are specialized cells that receive and send signals to other cells through fragile and thin cellular extensions called axons. These axons extend over distances long and short to reach their target, ultimately connecting neurons with other nerve tissue, muscle tissue, or sensory organs (Figure 1A).
