Give 3 differences between axon and dendron.

Open in App
Solution

Dendrons receive electrochemical impulses from other neurons, and carry them inwards and towards the soma, while axons carry the impulses away from the soma.
Dendrons are short and heavily branched in appearance, while axons are much longer.
Most neurons have a lot of dendrons and only have one axon.
Generally, dendrons receive neuron signals, and axons transmit them.
