Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrites are the extensions of a cell body of a neuron. They receive signals from sensory receptors or other neurons and bring them towards the cell body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dendrites are appendages that are designed to receive communications from other cells. They resemble a tree-like structure, forming projections that become stimulated by other neurons and conduct the electrochemical charge to the cell body (or, more rarely, directly to the axons).
Detailed explanation-3: -Classically, the axon has been identified as the myelinated or unmyelinated process that transmits signals away from the cell body. The classical view of the dendrite is that of an unmyelinated tube of cytoplasm which carries information toward the cell body.
