A prolongation or process extending from a nerve cell, e.g. an axon or dendrite. Cylindric portion of the dendrite, directly stemming from the perikaryon, and carrying the dendritic spines. Any constituent part of a cell, the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. A prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. Any constituent part of a cell projection, a prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. 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.
