Solution

Neuron:

  1. The nervous system's communicators are neurons.
  2. Neurons receive, integrate, and transmit information.
  3. They communicate with one other, as well as with cells in sensory organs, muscles, and glands.

Dendrites.

  1. Dendrites are the parts of neurons that transmit electrical impulses to the nerve cell's cell body.
  2. Dendrites acquire information from other neurons and nerves in the body.

Axon.

  1. Axons are extremely thin nerve fibers that transport nerve impulses from one neuron (nerve cell) to the next.
  2. Throughout these processes, a neuron is responsible for absorbing sensory input, providing motor orders to your muscles, and converting and relaying electrical impulses.

Final Answer: Neuron has branched process called Dendrites and single long process called Axon.
