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.
