Extensions of the nerve cell body. They are short and branched and receive stimuli from other neurons.
Branchlike structures on one end of a neuron responsible for bringing information into the cell body.
A branch of the nerve cell that receives nerve impulses from the axon of a neighboring nerve; a treelike extension of the neuron cell body. It receives information, along with the cell body, from other neurons.
Nerve-cell process that transmits impulse to cell body.
Nerve fiber that sends impulses toward the cell body of a neuron.
A branched structure growing out from a nerve cell, which receives impulses from the nerve endings of other nerve cells at synapses.
One of the branching processes or treelike parts of a nerve cell that conveys impulses to the nerve cell body (compare AXON).
Branched nerve fibers carrying impulses toward the cell body.
One of the shorter branching processes of the cell body of a neuron, which makes contact with other neurons at synapses and carries nerve impulses from them into the cell body.
A short spike-shaped cell process. The term usually refers to the branched, tapering cell processes of neurons. Incoming synapses form on the neuronal dendrites, which often arborize, sometimes extensively.
Tree-like branching of nerve fibers extending from a nerve cell; carry impulses toward the cell and receive impulses from other neurons.
One of the short, branching fibers of a neuron that carry nerve impulses toward the cell body.
The fibers of a brain cell that receive signals from neighboring brain cells are referred to as dendrites.
