The `cables' which deliver electrical signals to a neuron Typically each neuron possesses tens of thousands They are usually only one hundred thousandth of a meter in length
Branched extensions of the nerve cell body which receives signals from other nerve cells Each nerve cell usually has many dendrites
the primary parts of the neuron involved in receiving communications from other cells via distinctive receptors on their external membranes
receives and carries the impulse to the cell body
A neuron's branches that receive information from other neurons and transmit it toward the cell body
the tree-like branches from nerve cell bodies that receive signals from other nerve cells at synapses

dendrite
{n} a stone with the figure of a tree or plant
dendrite
{i} mineral crystal with a branching form (Geology); section of a nerve cell that branches out (Anatomy)
dendrite
or dendron, Greek = a tree, hence like the branches of a tree
dendrite
Snow dendrites are hexagonal ice crystals with complex and often fernlike branches
dendrite
The part of the nerve cell that brings impulses to the nerve body
dendrite
A branch-like part of a neuron that receives impulses and information from other neurons
dendrite
refers to: neural cell The connections between biological neural cells Electrical stimulation is transported from cell to cell using these connections
dendrite
-the treelike branching arms of a neuron
dendrite
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
dendrite
A sensory process of a neuron
dendrite
A branch of a neuron (nerve cell) which receives messages from other cells
dendrite
A branch of a neuron that brings chemical and electrical stimulus into the neuron at the synapse
dendrite
A crystalline shape produced by skeletal growth ("dendritic growth") resulting in "tree-like" appearance (often with many branches) in metal deposition
dendrite
short fiber that conducts toward the cell body of the neuron
dendrite
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
dendrite
Process of a neuron that acts as the post-synaptic receptor region
dendrite
The specialized portion of the neuron that (together with the cell body) receives impulses from other neurons See also axon, neuron
dendrite
One of six typical snowflake formations, a hexagonal ice crystal with complex and often fernlike branches
dendrite
gold or silver; an arborization
dendrite
Hexagonal ice crystals with complex and often fernlike branches
dendrite
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
dendrite
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]
dendrite
(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
dendrite
A neurite that receives synaptic inputs from other neurons
dendrite
the branched extensions from the cell body of a neuron that receives impulses from nearby neurons through synaptic contacts
dendrite
A slender threadlike spike of pure CRYSTALLINE material, such as SILICON
dendrite
threadlike extensions of the neuron, composing most of the receptive surface of a neuron
dendrite
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
dendrite
Any of the usual branching protoplasmic processes that conduct impulses toward the body of a nerve cell See also Protoplasm
dendrite
Extensions from the neuron cell body that take information TO the cell body A single nerve may possess many dendrites
