So the dendrites are basically projections that come off of our cell body and the purpose of these dentrides is to basically receive the electrical signal that comes from other cells and to send that electrical signals to other parts of our neuron. So these are the dendrite regions. Now, this is known as the cell body or the soma. And the soma is the region of the cell that stores the nucleus and other organelles. For example, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus armitochondria and so forth. Now, the region between this long extension known as the axon and the cell body is something called the exxon hill lock.
