Which part of the neuron is responsible for sending energy or impulses to other neurons?

The axon is the part of the neuron that is responsible for transmitting electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body to other neurons or target cells in the body. It serves as a long, thin extension that can carry these signals over varying distances, facilitating communication within the nervous system. The axon's length and structure are designed to optimize the conduction of electrical impulses, allowing for rapid transmission of information.

Dendrites play a different role; they are primarily responsible for receiving incoming signals from other neurons. Synapses are the junctions where communication between neurons occurs; they are the sites where neurotransmitters are released and received, allowing for the transfer of information. Neurons are the entire cell type itself, comprising the cell body, dendrites, and axons, but they do not specifically identify the part responsible for sending impulses.
