1. Axons are long processes. There is only one axon per nerve cell. |
2. Dendrites carry impulses towards the cell body of the neuron. |
2. Axons carry impulses away from the cell body of the neuron. |
3. Dendrites are always branched. |
3. Axons may or may not be branched. |
4. Nissl's granules are present in the neuroplasm. |
