one difference between axons and dendrites is that
â¢ Axons usually carry information away from the cell body, while dendrites bring information to the cell body. â¢ Axons have myelin sheaths and nodes of Ranvier, whereas dendrites donât. â¢ Myelinated axons conduct impulses faster than dendrites. â¢ Dendrites have ribosomes and axons donât. â¢ Axons are branched far from the cell body, whereas dendrites are branched near the cell body.
