What is a dendrite

It is the part of the neuron that carries information to the cell body.

stimuli

Through interneurons in the brain and spinal cord that connect sensory neurons and motor neurons

central nervous system

axons in motor neurons

A dendrite is a branched, tree-like structure that extends from the cell body of a neuron. It receives incoming signals from other neurons and carries those signals toward the cell body. Dendrites play a crucial role in the transmission of information within the nervous system.
