Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrites extend from the neuron cell body and receive messages from other neurons. Synapses are the contact points where one neuron communicates with another. The dendrites are covered with synapses formed by the ends of axons from other neurons.
Detailed explanation-2: -A dendrite looks like the branch of a tree and receives messages for the cell. Neurons communicate with each other by sending chemicals, called neurotransmitters, across a tiny space called a synapse, between the axons and dendrites of nearby neurons.
Detailed explanation-3: -Dendrites resemble the branches of a tree as they extend from the soma. The dendrites for a single neuron are collectively called the dendritic tree, and each branch is called a dendritic branch.
