In case of the sensory fibres which have no dendrites—such as those of the dorsal roots of the cord, whose cells lie in thespinal ganglia—the peripheral termination of the axon in the sense-organ becomes the functional equivalent of the dendrites; i. e., itis the receptive part. In the usual type of cell in the centres, theimpulse seems to enter at the dendrites, to pass thence to the cell- STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF THE AXON 111 body and thence into the axon, and out at the terminal arboriza-tions of the axon and its collaterals. The axon, therefore, usually conducts toward its own branchedends. Experiment proves, indeed, that the
