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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The neuron basically has four important parts; dendrites, cell body, axon and the axon terminals. The dendrites are the ones which receive the information in the form of nerve impulse (electrical signal). This nerve impulse then travels down through the axon and reaches the axon tail.
