Answer:

away from; towards

Explanation:

An axon transmits messages away from the cell body and a dendrite transmits messages towards the cell body.

An axon also referred to as a never fiber, transmits electrical impulses away from the cell body i.e it transmits information to several muscles, neurons and glands. An example of an axon is one that runs from the spinal cord to the toe, it is referred to as the longest axon.

In contrast, a dendrite  receives signals or messages from other neurons and transmits the signals towards the cell body.

Answer:

n axon transmits messages _away_______ the cell body and a dendrite transmits messages _to_______ the cell body.

Axon are long nerve fibre that conducts action potential along their neuronal membrane away from the cell body. They are filled with cytoplasm called axoplasm, bounded, and insulated by concentric layers of lipids, protein,and water called myelin sheath, which is interupted at intervals to form Nodes of Ranvier.

These gaps enable the action potential to jump, thus increasing the speed of conduct or transmission of Action potential called saltatory conduction  The nodes have highest concentration of  Voltage-gated sodium and potassium ions pumps.

The axons terminated the action potential transmission at its terminal ends to reach   the dendrites of the adjacent neuron to  synapse, to deliver the electrical information to the adjacent neurons.

Therefore for the integration of the action potential in the cell body the dendrites  receive and transmits the message to the cell body. Dendrites are short  protoplasmic  projections of  the cell body or soma that  connect cell body of one neuron to the adjacent  neuron  axon through the terminal ends at the axon ends.

Finger [1]
<span>They are composed into vesicles. They may also form lysosomes. Vesicles are packages with the main intent of transporting things out of and around the cell. Lysosomes help the cell digest its food. All vesicles are destined to be sent to a specific place inside the cell.</span>
