All of these statements are partially correct, but the most accurate definition is the first one: a dendrite is the part of a neuron that carries information to the cell body. Dendrites receive signals from other neurons and transmit them towards the cell body. The other statements are related to different types of cells and functions within the nervous system.

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

A dendrite is the part of a neuron that carries information to the cell body. It receives signals from other neurons or sensory receptors and transmits them towards the cell body. This allows the neuron to integrate and process incoming information before sending signals to other neurons. Dendrites have numerous branches called dendritic spines, which increase their surface area and facilitate communication with other neurons.
