Functions of the three parts of a neuron:
$1$. Dendrite: It receives information from the axon of another cell and conducts the messages towards the cell body.
$2$. Cell body: It contains the nucleus,mitochondria,and other organelles. It is mainly concerned with the maintenance and growth of the cell.
$3$. Axon: It conducts messages away from the cell body towards the nerve endings.
