Short branched extensions of a neuron?
In neurons, short, tapering, diffusely branched processes from the cell body are known as the dendrites. If the dendrites are short/tapering and diffusely branched, then this is referring to the dendrites of motor neurons.
What are the short fibers that extend from the neuron called?
They are called dendrites
State the structure of neurons which reduces leakage of impulses?
Myelin sheath, which is only found on long axons (white matter), not on short cortical neurons (grey matter).
Th long and short thread-like fibers that differentiate nerve cells from other cells are called?
neurons
When you are forming memories the neurons and the connections between them strengthen?
short-term memory-apex long-term potentiation.
IS it correct to speak of memory as though it is single process?
It depends on your definition of "single process." Eric Kandel got a Nobel Prize for studying it for forty years. Memories are built by activation and reactivation of connections between neurons, but long and short term memories are built differently. So the answer, technically, is no. Not a single process.
What is an AVL?
it is the short form of augmented voltage unipolar left arm lead. It is a technical term used in electrocardiography.

Which division of the nervous system has short preganglionic neurons?
sympathetic
Short branched extensions through which neurons receive signals?
dendrites
Are dendrites and axons both armlike processes that extend from cell bodies?
Yes, it is true. Dendrites: Arm-like processes that extend from the cell body of all neurons which receive signals. They are short, tapering, and have branching extensions and are usually found close to the cell body. Dendrites are unmyelinated (slow conductors). Axons: Are single arm-like process that extends from the cell body of all neurons which generate and transmit nerve impulses. They can be long (up to ~ 1 meter) or short with diffuse branching at the end. Axons are myelinated (fast conductors).
What are the short fibers that extend from the neuron called?

State the structure of neurons which reduces leakage of impulses?
Myelin sheath, which is only found on long axons (white matter), not on short cortical neurons (grey matter).
What do dendrites do for the neuron?
Dendrites receive inputs from other neurons, via synapses.
