Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendrites are branching fibers that receive signals from other neurons and get narrower near their ends. They do not contain the nucleus or ribosomes, which are typically found in the cell body or soma. Dendrites also do not function as an insulating material that cover an axon, and they are not of constant diameter.
