View Full Document. Neuron - A specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system. Dendrites â In a neuron, the branch-like extensions of the cell body that receive signals from other neurons. Synapse â The junction where the axon terminal of a sending neuron communicates with a receiving neuron across the synaptic cleft.
In this video lesson, you'll learn about neurons, which are specialized cells in the nervous system. Check out how far neurons can send signals throughout the body and how depolarization is much like 'the wave' at a football game.he most unique and important structures of a neuron are the long extensions that extend out from the cell body. There are two types of extensions: dendrites and axons. Dendrites are extensions of neurons that receive signals and conduct them toward the cell body.
