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.
