Here's a breakdown:
* Axons: These are long, slender projections that transmit electrical signals (action potentials) from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. They are typically covered in a myelin sheath, which acts as an insulator and speeds up signal transmission.
* Dendrites: These are branched extensions that receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body.
So, while dendrites receive signals, axons are responsible for sending them out.
