Answer 2

Answer:

Thread-like branches arising from the cyton of nerve cells are called dendrites.

Explanation:

Dendrites are branched extensions of nerve cells which protrude out from the cell body of neurons. Few dendrites also contain smaller projections called as dendritic spines which help to increase the receptive power of dendrites. Dendrites help to provide sufficient surface area to gather signals from the terminal portions of neurons. Dendrites play a very important role to integrate the input signals and action potentials. Defective dendritic function results into impaired nervous system.
