Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A dendrite (tree branch) is where a neuron receives input from other cells. Dendrites branch as they move towards their tips, just like tree branches do, and they even have leaf-like structures on them called spines.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike axons, dendrites have tapering processes such that distal branches have smaller diameters than proximal ones. Furthermore, dendrites and axons contain different types of organelles-such as Golgi outposts, found primarily in dendrites.
