[[File:Anatomy of neuron.png|thumb|500px|The neuron contains dendrites that receive information, a cell body called the soma, and an axon that sends information to other cells through the synapses. Schwann cells make the signals (action potentials) move faster down the axon. Please see learnbio.org for interactive version.]] A dendrite (from Greek δένδρον déndron, "tree") or dendron is a branched cytoplasmic process extending from a nerve cell; it propagates the electrochemical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell body, or soma, of the neuron from which the dendrites projec

AI overview

A dendrite is a branched, tree-like extension from a nerve cell that receives electrical signals from other neurons and carries them toward the cell body. Dendrites are important because they allow neurons to communicate with each other by collecting information from multiple sources and passing it along the neuron's pathway.
