The dendrite is distinguishable from it's extensive

to tip.

process, in which case the cell body lies off to the side.
The dendritic end of the process has extensive branching,
the anoxic part of the process may extend to be a meter or
more.
*Multipolar neurons- have dendrites around the soma and the
axon is distinguishable from it's long length.
