MSH: Extensions of the nerve cell body. They are short and branched and receive stimuli from other NEURONS.,CSP: one of the threadlike extensions of the cytoplasm of a neuron, which typically branch into tree-like processes; in unipolar and bipolar neurons, there is a single dendrite, which proximally resembles an axon but branches distally; in multipolar neurons there are many short, branching dendrites; dendrites compose most of the receptive surface of a neuron; called also dendron, neurodendrite, and neurodendron.,GO: A neuron projection that has a short, tapering, often branched, morphology, receives and integrates signals from other neurons or from sensory stimuli, and conducts a nerve impulse towards the axon or the cell body. In most neurons, the impulse is conveyed from dendrites to axon via the cell body, but in some types of unipolar neuron, the impulse does not travel via the cell body.
