Neurons have branches. At least in neocortex, dendrites are the receiving branches of the neuron and the axon is the sending branch. Elsewhere, some dendrites can also act like axon terminals, releasing neurotransmitter in response to impulses and local voltage changes. There is always a single thin axon that initiates and propagates impulses to distant destinations, and there are somewhat thicker dendritic branches that receive synapses from other neurons's axon terminals. Pyramidal neurons have a tall tree-like apical dendrite plus some rootlike basal dendrites.

In biology, a dendrite is a slender, typically branched projection of a nerve cell, or "neuron," which conducts the electrical stimulation received from other cells to the body or soma of the cell from which it projects. This stimulation arrives through synapses, which typically are located near the tips of the dendrites and away from the soma.

Dendrites (from Greek dendron, “treeâ€) are the branched projections of a neuron that act to conduct the electrical stimulation received from other neural cells to the cell body, or soma, of the neuron from which the dendrites project. Electrical stimulation is transmitted onto dendrites by upstream neurons via synapses which are located at various points throughout the dendritic arbor. Dendrites play a critical role in integrating these synaptic inputs and in determining the extent to which action potentials are produced by the neuron.
A crystal dendrite is a crystal that develops with a typical multi-branching tree-like form. Dendritic crystal growth is very common and illustrated by snowflake formation and frost patterns on a window. Dendritic crystallization forms a natural fractal pattern.
A dendrite in metallurgy is a characteristic tree-like structure of crystals growing as molten metal freezes, the shape produced by faster growth along energetically favourable crystallographic directions. This dendritic growth has large consequences in regards to material properties. If the metal is cooled slowly, dendritic growth will occur for longer periods of time, and therefore the resulting dendrites will grow to a larger size.
