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.
