Answer

In comparing your forearm, hand and fingers to a neuron; the dendrites are compared to fingers and the axon is compared to the forearm.

Explanation

Dendrites are branch like fibers that extend in cluster from the neuron’s cell body. The axon is a long, tube like structure that extends from  a neutron’s cell  body. Dendrites serve as the input region of the neuron and receive information from other cells. Axon connects with other cells in the body at junctions called synapses.
