Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A dendrite (tree branch) is where a neuron receives input from other cells. Dendrites branch as they move towards their tips, just like tree branches do, and they even have leaf-like structures on them called spines.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dendrites. Dendrites are tree-like extensions at the beginning of a neuron that help increase the surface area of the cell body. These tiny protrusions receive information from other neurons and transmit electrical stimulation to the soma.
Detailed explanation-3: -The dendrite’s surface is lined with specialized synaptic receptors, at which the dendrite receives information from other neurons.
