When you put your hand on a hot stove, sensory receptors receive signals and send them to dendrites, which then conduct nerve impulses down the axons to the spinal cord and brain. Astrocytes are support cells and do not directly participate in nerve impulse transmission. Oligodendrocytes are responsible for producing myelin, which covers axons and helps speed the transmission of signals, but do not receive or transmit signals themselves.
