Organized into signal pathways to communicate via synaptic transmission. Contains two distinct zones: a receptive zone designed to receive signals from other neurons. Made up of the dendrites branching out from the cell body: a transmission zone designed to pass on signals to other cells. Made up of the axon and terminal ends. Contains vital organelles which keep the cell functioning. Dendrites branch to the cell body, where some signals will go on to be conveyed down the axon. The receptive zone receives and relay signals down the axon. Reach out to other neurons and receive signals to be relayed through the dendritic.
