A prolongation or process extending from a nerve cell, e.g. an axon or dendrite. Any constituent part of a cell, the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. A structure at the distal end of a dendrite adapted to carry out a specific function, e.g. dendriole. Small dendrites that makes up a brush structure found as the terminal specialization of a dendrite of a unipolar brush cell (UBC). The migrating motile tip of a growing nerve cell dendrite. 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. The terminal specialization found in some types of dendrites which consists of numerous small terminal branches, giving the dendrite a tufted appearance. 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.
