This is a short, branch-like structure of a neuron that receives impulses from other neurons
A
axon
B
dendrite
C
axon terminal
D
cell body
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, tentacle-like structures, receive neural impulses from neurons.

Detailed explanation-3: -The short branches projecting out of the cell body and branching repeatedly in a neuron or nerve cells are called dendrites or dendrons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Dendrites are tree-like structures that extend away from the cell body to receive messages from other neurons at specialized junctions called synapses. Although some neurons do not have any dendrites, some types of neurons have multiple dendrites.
