Axon:

An axon is a long, slender projection of a neuron that transmits electrical impulses (action potentials) away from the neuron’s cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. It is responsible for sending signals to target cells and can be covered by a myelin sheath, which helps speed up signal transmission.

Dendrite:

A dendrite is a branched, tree-like extension of a neuron that receives electrical signals from other neurons and transmits them toward the cell body. Dendrites are specialized to capture incoming signals from the synapses and play a critical role in integrating information from various sources.
