Dendrite
Dendrite: A short arm-like protuberance from a nerve cell (a neuron). Dendrites from neurons next to one another are tipped by synapses (tiny transmitters and receivers for chemical messages between the cells). The word 'dendrite' means 'branched like a tree.' It comes from the Greek 'dendron' (tree... Found op http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.html?articlekey=11144

dendrite
A long, branching outgrowth from a neuron, that carries electrical signals from synapses to the cell body; unlike an axon that carries electrical signals away from the cell body. This classical definition, however, lost some weight with the discovery of axo-axonal and dendro-dendritic synapses.
