The Axon has the long-tail structure and Dendrite has short, fibrous, root-like structure. You can only find one Axon per Nerve Cell whereas there are various Dendrites within a Nerve Cell. Number (in a single neuron) A neuron has just one axon ( sometimes arising directly from a dendrite, but generally originated from the soma or cell body). Axon originates from the discharging end of Neuron while Dendrite originates from the receiving end of Neuron. Length It is the longest part of a neuron. Spastin, atlastin, and ER relocalization are involved in axon but not dendrite regeneration. Here we review the evidence that axon/dendrite formation during neuronal. The axon arises from the cell body at a specialized area called the. Comparison Table Between Axons and Dendrites Parameters of Comparison Axons Dendrites Shape Elongated fibre like Differentiation of axons and dendrites is a critical step in neuronal development. Axons The dendrites tend to taper and are often covered with little bumps called spines. An axon passes the information from the cell body (Soma) to the dendrite of another neuron in the form of an electrical impulse through the synaptic gap. (Landis, 1977 Neale et al., 1978 Wakshull et al. There are small branch-like projections at its terminal which establish a connection with other dendrites and pass the electrical signal to communicate with other neurons. Many of the fundamental features of axons and dendrites have been reproduced in neuronal cell culture systems.
