Dendrites are the nervous tissue appendages rising from the soma or cell body of a nerve cell (neuron).
Structurally, they are membranous with an extensively branched-tree like structure called the dendritic tree especially structured to receive signals from another cell.
The branched dendrites connect with the axons of the adjacent neurons and forms axodendritic synapses to communicate between neurons.
Dendrites act as the primary sensors of a neuron since it receives the signals first as chemical signals which then pass to the soma. They are activated by neurotransmitters to aid in neurotransmission
