Dendrites are the branched extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them toward the cell body. They play a crucial role in integrating neural information received from multiple sources.
A specialized cell transmitting nerve impulses; the basic building block of the nervous system.
The junction between two neurons or between a neuron and a muscle/gland cell, where signal transmission occurs.
The long, slender projection of a neuron that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body to other neurons or muscles
