We have the axon as well as the axon terminal. So let's go through each one of these structures and discuss what the function of these structures are. So let's begin with our dendrites. So the dendrites are basically projections that come off of our cell body and the purpose of these dentrides is to basically receive the electrical signal that comes from other cells and to send that electrical signals to other parts of our neuron. So these are the dendrite regions. Now, this is known as the cell body or the soma.
