Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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. Dendrites are also covered with synapses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Synapses: Dendrites receive signals from other neurons at specialized junctions called synapses. There is a small gap between two synapsed neurons, where neurotransmitters are released from one neuron to pass the signal to the next neuron.
