Detailed explanation-1: -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: -Dendrites are extensions of neurons that receive signals and conduct them toward the cell body. Axons are extensions of neurons that conduct signals away from the cell body to other cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Neurons generally comprise a cell body with one or more extensions. There are two types of extension: dendrites (short extensions with ramifications) and an axon (just one extension of varying length depending on the cells).
