The receptor is the part of the neuron (usually a dendrite) that detects a stimulus.
Dendrites are extensions of the main cellular body of the neuron called the soma; the impulse is passed on to another neuron at the other end, which is called the axon. Neurons transmit impulses to each other via electro-chemical connections to each other that are known as synapses.
Form the afferent division of the PNS; receive information from sensory receptors and relay the information to neurons in the CNS
Dendrites
In a neuron, impulses move from dendrite to axon. These impulses carry energy to different parts of the neuron.

action potentials
Afferent neurons receive and transmit impulses to the CNS.
The axon, an elongated portion of the neuron, carries impulses to the muscles.

In a neuron, impulses move from dendrite to axon. These impulses carry energy to different parts of the neuron.
The efferent neuron carries impulses towards the periphery.
A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.A Motor neuron is a neuron that carries impulses from the spinal cord to muscle cells.
Fibres which carry impulses towards the cell body of a neuron are called dendrites. The axon is the fibre which carries impulses away from the cell body of a neuron.

Synapses. Net flow of charged ions ("impulses") in neuronal cells trigger additional ion flow (ionotropic signaling) or neurotransmitter release (metabotropic signaling) to both neuronal and non-neuronal cell types ("the body") at junctions called synapses.
