Dendrite

A threadlike extension of a neuron that receives impulses from other neurons
Real World Example
Imagine trying to manage a group chat with friends where everyone is sending messages at once. Just as you have to focus on each message to understand what everyone is saying, dendrites act like the attentive reader in a group chat, receiving and processing incoming signals from other neurons. Each message in the chat is like an impulse from another neuron, and the dendrite's role is to catch and interpret each one, ensuring clear communication within the brain's network.
