Dendrite

What do we mean by dendrite?

A mineral crystallizing in another mineral in the form of a branching or treelike mark. noun

A rock or mineral bearing such a mark or marks. noun

A branched protoplasmic extension of a nerve cell that conducts impulses from adjacent cells inward toward the cell body. A single nerve may possess many dendrites. noun

In neural., one of the protoplasmic processes of a nerve-cell: opposed to *neurite, the axis-cylinder. See cut at *neuron. noun

A stone or a mineral on or in which are figures resembling shrubs, trees, or mosses. noun

A complex crystalline growth of arborescent form, such as is common with metallic silver and copper. noun

A stone or mineral on or in which are branching figures resembling shrubs or trees, produced by a foreign mineral, usually an oxide of manganese, as in the moss agate; also, a crystallized mineral having an arborescent form, e. g., gold or silver; an arborization. noun

A slender projection of a nerve cell which conducts nerve impulses from a synapse to the body of the cell; a dendron. noun

Slender cell process emanating from the cell bodies of dendritic cells and follicular dendritic cells of the immune system. noun

Tree-like structure of crystals growing as material crystallizes noun

Short fiber that conducts toward the cell body of the neuron noun
