| The branching dendrites found in moss agate were created by mineral deposits of manganese and iron trapped in fissures within the rock. |
| Once the plaque matures, parts of the nerve cell, like the axon and dendrites, begin to degenerate. |
| Spatial dendrites are three-dimensional crystals with intermediate terminal velocities. |
| Often the dendrites have tiny, thornlike spines on their surfaces, which serve as contact points for parts of other neurons. |
| Gray matter, made up of the bodies of nerve cells and their connecting dendrites, is where the brain's heavy lifting is done. |
| All dendrites bear large numbers of spines, small excrescences on which incoming nerve fibres terminate to form synapses. |
