The nerve cell/neuron has braches called dendrites coming off of it, these dendrites are long and are able to cling on to other cells and make it easier.
Hope this helps!!!

A dendrite is a branch-like structure that extends from the cell body of a neuron. It is covered in synapses where it receives signals from other neurons. Dendrites play a key role in transmitting electrical signals within the brain.

Do neurotransmitters pass directly from the axon to the dendrite?
No, neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft between the axon terminal and the dendrite. They then bind to receptor sites on the dendrite to transmit signals from one neuron to another.
What receives neuron messages and sends them to the cell body?
The dendrite receives a stimulus and conducts the nerve impulse toward the cell body.
What is the tissue that receives stimuli and conducts nerve impulses?
these are wire-like projections from the main cell body, which are often further branched and carry impulses to the cell body. theses are called dendrites.
How do you use dendrite in a sentence?
This can mean a branching nerve cell or a branching mineral. Here are some sentences.A dendrite carries a nerve signal along the body.That rock shows the branching pattern of a dendrite mineral.
What is the space between terminal button and dendrite?
The space between the terminal button of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron is called the synaptic cleft. Neurotransmitters are released from the terminal button and diffuse across this space to bind to receptors on the dendrite, allowing communication between the two neurons.
What does a neuron look like?
The parts of a generic neuron are:- soma - cell body axon - upto 1 meter long dendrite - many
What is the longest dendrite of a neuron?
the longest dendrite is I don't know this /;[
When did David the Dendrite die?
David the Dendrite died in 540.
The branch that carries messages to the cell body is called the?
Dendrite!
What is the plural word for dendrite?
The plural form of dendrite is dendrites.
How does a message travel through a single neuron?
When a message gets sent to a neuron from the dendrite it goes through the cell body to the tip of the dendrite where it leaps to the next dendrite.
The structure that recevies an impulse from the dendrite is the?
The structure that receives an impulse from the dendrite is the cell body, also known as the soma. The dendrites transmit the signal they receive to the cell body, which integrates these signals and decides whether to pass the signal to the axon for further transmission.
What is the plural of dendrite?
dendrites
Part of the nerve cell that first receives the nervous impulse is the?
The dendrite of a neuron usually receives a chemical signal from another neuron, although a cell body (soma), or sometimes even an axon, of another neuron can receive the signal.Synapses which occur between an axon and a dendrite are called axodendritic synapses, while synapses between an axon and a cell body are called axosomatic synapses, and synapses between an axon and an axon are called axoaxonic synapses.
Do neurotransmitters pass directly from the axon to the dendrite?
No, neurotransmitters are released from the axon terminal into the synaptic cleft between the axon terminal and the dendrite. They then bind to receptor sites on the dendrite to transmit signals from one neuron to another.
Space between terminal button and dendrite?
The space between the terminal bouton and dendrite is called the synaptic cleft, or synapse.
