If you mean what does a dendrite DO, it receives impulsesfrom other neurons via synapses.
If you mean something else, you may need to form your question better.
For instance, what do you mean by 'interaction'? Are you perhaps asking what happens at a dendritic spine as neurotransmitters diffuse to it?
If so, then what happens is that sodium-ion gates are opened, allowing sodium ions in, starting a graded impulse propagating toward the axon hillock, where it may summate to cause the action potential to fire in the axon.

The part of the neuron that carries impulses to the neuron cell body is the?
dendrite
What are functions of synaptic junction?
To "connect" two neurons, (or a neuron and a muscle cell), by providing a space between an axon terminal of one neuron and a dendrite of another neuron (or a muscle cell), so neurotransmitters that are released by an axon terminal can diffuse across that space to reach the dendrite (or muscle cell) and either initiate the possibility of the second neuron to fire or cause a muscle cell to contract.
What anatomical characteristic determines wether a particular neuron is classified as unipolar bipolar or multipolar?
The location of dendrite and axon: If dendrite and axon emerge from same process, the neuron is unipolar. If dendrite and a single axon emerge from opposite ends of the soma, the neuron is bipolar. If the neuron has more than 2 dendrite it is called multipolar.
What part is a neuron receives signals?
dendrite
In a neuron impulses move?
In a neuron, impulses move from dendrite to axon. These impulses carry energy to different parts of the neuron.
Functions of the Dendrite?
Receptive region of neuron-- bear receptors for neurotransmitters released by other neurons.
What is the longest dendrite of a neuron?
the longest dendrite is I don't know this /;[
How does a message travel through a single neuron?
When a message gets sent to a neuron from the dendrite it goes through the cell body to the tip of the dendrite where it leaps to the next dendrite.
What determine whether a neuron is unipolar bipolar multipolar?
The location of dendrite and axon: If dendrite and axon emerge from same process, the neuron is unipolar. If dendrite and a single axon emerge from opposite ends of the soma, the neuron is bipolar. If the neuron has more than 2 dendrite it is called multipolar.

What are the branches of artificial neuron network?
a dendrite

What are the main part of the neuron?
Axon, nucleus, and dendrite
What are 3 parts of a neuron?
Soma, axon, dendrite
What part is a neuron receives signals?
dendrite
