Axons transfer information away from cells, have smooth surfaces, are singular in a cell, do not have ribosomes, have myelin, and branch away from the cell. Dedrites transport information to the cells, have rough surfaces, are multiple in a cell, have ribosomes, do not have myelin, and branch near the cell.

What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?
Dendrites, Axon, Axon Terminal, and Cell Body
The cell body of a neuron collects information from which structure?
The part of the neuron that picks up information and sends it to the cell body is the dendrite. Electrical stimulation is transmitted by upstream neurons onto dendrites, and the dendrites integrate and determine the extent to which action potentials are produced.
What composed of a cell bodydendritesand axon?
Nerve cell or neuron
How is a nerve specialised to carry out its function?
A nerve cell is called a neuron. The neuron has dendrites that receive impules from the previous neuron and send it to the cell body and an axon that transmits the impulse to the next neuron. There is a space between one cell's axon and the next cell's dendrites called a synapse. Neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal to carry the impulse across the synapse.
What is the space between a dendrite and an axon called?
The space between neuronal celll bodies is the extracellular space, which is filled with extracellular fluid. The space between neurons in contact with one another via a synapse is called a synaptic cleft.
What is the difference between a nerve dendrite and a nerve axon structurally?
The nerve axon is the main nerve from where the dendrites originate.
What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?
Dendrites, Axon, Axon Terminal, and Cell Body
From what two places does the nervous system receive information?
From the dendrites and axon.
Difference between a neuron and a nerve?
A bundle of axons is a nerve. A neuron is the cell of the nervous system and is composed of dendrites, axon, and the cell body.
What is dendrites function?
Assuming that the question is What is the function of the dendrites? The answer is: Dendrites receive incoming information from axon terminals.
What are the long fiber between nerve cells?
There are two: an axon and several dendrites.
What structures carry information toward the neurosoma?
dendrites
What is the side branch of the axon?
dendrites
What is an axon made up of?
Cell body, axon, and dendrites
What is the junction between the axon and the dendrites?
The space between two connecting neurons is called a synapse.
What is at the end of an axon terminal branch?
Dendrites
Does dendrites support the axon from within?
yes
