Detailed explanation-2: -dendrite. noun. den·drite ˈden-ˌdrīt. : a branching figure (as in a mineral or stone) resembling a tree. : any of the usually branching extensions of a neuron over which impulses travel toward the cell body compare axon.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrites receive and integrate signals from other neurons or from sensory stimuli, and conducts a nerve impulse towards the axon or the cell body. In most neurons, the impulse is conveyed from dendrites to axon via the cell body, but in some types of unipolar neuron, the impulse does not travel via the cell body.
