Dendrites and the Cell Body
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Dendrites receive incoming signals and carry them to the cell body, which integrates them and holds the neuron's nucleus.
Show
Thousands of dendritic branches on one motor neuron collect signals arriving from many other neurons at once.
Watch for
Integration is not addition. Some incoming signals push the neuron toward firing and others push it away.
