Dendrites (from Greek dendron, 'tree') are the branched projections of a neuron that act to conduct the electrical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell body, or soma, of the neuron from which the dendrites project.

dendron; tree-like structure of a nerve cell; branched process that carries impulses toward a nerve cell (neuron); contrast to axon

Dendrites were once believed to merely convey stimulation passively, without action potentials and without activation of voltage-gated ion channels.

The one end, in many neurons, is called a dendrite; basically a tree - very, very small, of course - that branches in many directions, and this dendrite is a place to form synapses.
Be able to diagram a typical neuron and its three areas: dendrite, axon, and cell body.

Some have extensions called dendrites and axons. The axons can be several feet long, reaching from your spinal column to your big toe. The axons are supported structurally by microtubules.
Ab42 (the 42-amino-acid form of Ab) induces membrane lipid peroxidation in synapses and dendrites resulting in impairment of membrane ion-motive ATPases and glucose and glutamate transporters.
