GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Neurons. Neurons, or nerve cells, carry out the functions of the nervous system by conducting nerve impulses.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neurotransmitters bind to the membrane of the dendrite. The binding allows the nerve impulse to travel through the receiving neuron.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrites receive synaptic inputs from axons, with the sum total of dendritic inputs determining whether the neuron will fire an action potential. Spine – The small protrusions found on dendrites that are, for many synapses, the postsynaptic contact site.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dendrites receive and integrate signals from other neurons or from sensory stimuli, and conduct nerve impulses towards the axon or the cell body. In most neurons, the impulse is conveyed from dendrites to axon via the cell body, but in some types of unipolar neuron, the impulse does not travel via the cell body.
