What is another word for Neurite?
Pronunciation: [njˈuːɹɪt] (IPA) 
Neurites are specialized projections that extend from the surface of nerve cells to facilitate communication and information processing between neurons. Common synonyms for neurite include dendrite, axon, and nerve fiber. While dendrites are tree-like extensions that receive signals from other neurons, axons are usually longer and transmit signals to other cells. Nerve fibers can refer to any type of long, thin projection from a neuron, including both dendrites and axons. Other possible synonyms for neurite include neuronal process, nerve ending, and nerve projection. Understanding the various terms used to describe different types of neurites can help researchers to better comprehend the complex networks and circuits that govern neural activity in the brain and other parts of the nervous system.
