Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendrites receive nerve impulses from other neurons and act as an antenna to transmit these signals towards the cell body. The axon is responsible for transmitting signals away from the cell body towards other neurons or muscles, and the nerve is a bundle of axons. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles necessary for the neuron's functioning.
