A dendrite is one of the branches on the input end of a biological neuron It has connections, via synapses to the axons of other neurons
A sensory process of a neuron
A branch of a neuron (nerve cell) which receives messages from other cells
A branch of a neuron that brings chemical and electrical stimulus into the neuron at the synapse
A crystalline shape produced by skeletal growth ("dendritic growth") resulting in "tree-like" appearance (often with many branches) in metal deposition
short fiber that conducts toward the cell body of the neuron
Spindly branch emanating from the cell body of the neuron that receives information from nearby neurons or transduces other changes in the environment via specialized receptors
Process of a neuron that acts as the post-synaptic receptor region
The specialized portion of the neuron that (together with the cell body) receives impulses from other neurons See also axon, neuron
One of six typical snowflake formations, a hexagonal ice crystal with complex and often fernlike branches
gold or silver; an arborization
Hexagonal ice crystals with complex and often fernlike branches
A stone or mineral on or in which are branching figures resembling shrubs or trees, produced by a foreign mineral, usually an oxide of manganese, as in the moss agate; also, a crystallized mineral having an arborescent form, e
Neurons have branches There is a single thin axon that initiates and propagates impulses to distant destinations, and there are somewhat thicker dendritic branches that receive synapses from other neurons's axon terminals Pyramidal neurons have a tall-tree-like apical dendrite plus some rootlike basal dendrites At least in neocortex, dendrites are the receiving branches of the neuron and the axon is the sending branch Elsewhere, some dendrites can also act like axon terminals, releasing neurotransmitter in response to impulses and local voltage changes [26, 31]
(1) A crystal that has grown in treelike branching mode (2) A crystal that has a tree-like branching pattern, being most evident in cast metals slowly cooled through the solidification range
A neurite that receives synaptic inputs from other neurons
the branched extensions from the cell body of a neuron that receives impulses from nearby neurons through synaptic contacts
A slender threadlike spike of pure CRYSTALLINE material, such as SILICON
threadlike extensions of the neuron, composing most of the receptive surface of a neuron
the part of the neuron that receives messages from the axons of other nerve cells; the two types of dendrites are apical dendrites and basilar dendrites
Any of the usual branching protoplasmic processes that conduct impulses toward the body of a nerve cell See also Protoplasm
Extensions from the neuron cell body that take information TO the cell body A single nerve may possess many dendrites
