Nerve cell bodies may have many dendrites which allows for many different paths to operate within a single nerve cell; the result is that one cell can be involved in many more neural pathways than if each nerve body only had one dendrite. Since neural pathways are the base of memory and cognition it is quite beneficial to have as many operatiing neural pathways available to us with the given amount of neurons we have.

∙ 13y agodendrites are the finger like cells on the end of a neuron, they collect messages through other neurons or the nerves in the human body, these messages are passed through the Nervous Systems towards the brain where the brain sends instructions back through the body so a reaction can occur.

What is dendrites function?
Assuming that the question is What is the function of the dendrites? The answer is: Dendrites receive incoming information from axon terminals.

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 parts and function of a dendrites?
Transmits Information to the cell body
Dendrites function in the motor neuron?
To carry the nerve impulse from the CNS to the cell body
How does the structure of dendrites relate to their function in the nervous system answer?
They are long so they can stretch throughout the body.
What is dendrites function?
Assuming that the question is What is the function of the dendrites? The answer is: Dendrites receive incoming information from axon terminals.
What is the function of the dendrites and axon?
A very basic explanation would say that axons are the structures of neurons that conduct electrical impulses ("messages") away from the cell body, and that dendrites are the structures of neurons that conduct electrical impulses toward the cell body.
What are the 3 main structures of a neuron?
Dendrites, Axon, Axon Terminal, and Cell Body
What organ in the human body serves the same function of the onion?
What organ in the human body with similar function
What function does human growth do in your body?
no we can measure the growth of our human body
What are the function of diamonds in human body?
There are no diamonds in the human body. The body could not digest them.
Where in the body does a dendrite work?
The dendrites is the the ends of neuron cells. Neurons are located all over the body and all have dendrites at the end of them. Dendrites receive nerve signals are the body to let the brain know how what is the body feeling and how it should react.
What career studies the function of the human body during exercise?
The the scientific discipline that studies the function of the human body is physiology.
Can the human body function without you?
no
