Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendritic branching refers to the process by which dendrites, the branch-like extensions of neurons, grow and create new branches. This growth increases the surface area of the dendrite, allowing for more connections or synapses with other neurons, thus option C is correct. Option B is a restatement of the definition of dendritic branching, making it also correct. Myelination, mentioned in option A, primarily occurs in axons, not dendrites, making options involving A incorrect.
