ALPHABETICAL BRAIN™ VOCABULARY SUMMARY ABOUT YOUR DENDRITES #3 August 17, 2020 WHAT ARE YOUR DENDRITES? AND WHY ARE THEY SO IMPORTANT? Your dendrites are terminals (or neurites) that receive biochemical signals (electro-chemical signals/impulses) from your other neurons, senses, internal organs, glands, or muscles. Typically, as many as 10,000-15,000 dendrites are attached to the cell body of each of your 100-200 billion neurons. However, there can be as few as one dendrite attached to a single cell body.
