Dendrites are branched extensions of a neuron that receive incoming signals and transmit them toward the cell body for integration. Nissl Bodies (Nissl's Granules) are the specialised structures in the cell body of neurons, involved in protein synthesis. Dendrites carry impulses towards the cell body.
