The difference between Dendrite and Axon are given below:
Dendrite:
1. Dendrites are branched or unbranched structures arise from cyton.
2. These carry impulse towards the cell body.
3. Dendrties devoid of myelin sheath and are not insulated.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
4. Nissl’s granules are neart he site of origin Node of Ranvier absent.
5. Dendrites are small.
Axon:
1. Axons are branched at the tail ends.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
2. They carry impulse away from the cyton.
3. They may be myelinated or non-myelinated.
4. Nissl’s granules absent and node of Ranvier present.
5. These are long and big in size.
