Differentiate between :
Dendrites and Axons
Dendrites and Axons
| S. No. | Dendrites | Axons |
| 1. | Many branches emerge from the cyton which are called dendrites. | Only one long process emerges from the cell body which is called axon. |
| 2. | There are thin microscopic shoots of short length. | Whereas these are larger and thicker in size than the dendrites. |
| 3. | Nissl's granules are found in the retina. | Whereas there is absence of Nissl's granules in the neuron. |
| 4. | These bring nerve impulses towards the cell body (cyton). | Whereas the axon transports the nerve impulse away from the cell body (cyton) to the synapse or to the neuromuscular junction. |
| 5. | The dendrite is called the afferent process. | Whereas the axon is called efferent process. |
| 6. | They have the ability to change impulses by accepting external environmental stimuli (external stumuli). | Whereas axon does not have this ability. |
