GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A neuron has three main parts. The cell body directs all activities of the neuron. Dendrites extend out from the cell body and receive messages from other nerve cells. An axon is a long single fiber that transmits messages from the cell body to the dendrites of other neurons or to other body tissues, such as muscles.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Function of Dendrites Dendrites receive the data or signals from another neuron. Dendrite collects and stores all incoming information from axon terminals. Dendrites are the structures of neurons, which conduct electrical impulses toward the cell body of the nerve cell.
