Function of Dendrites. In order for neurons to become active, they must receive action potentials or other stimuli. Dendrites are the structures on the neuron that receive electrical messages. These messages come in two basic forms: excitatory and inhibitory.Excitatory action potentials increase the stimulation of a neuron, while inhibitory action potentials decrease the activity of the neuron.nstructor: John Williams. Dendrites are the segments of the neuron that receive stimulation in order for the cell to become active. They conduct electrical messages to the neuron cell body for the cell to function.
1 Dendrites are specialized extensions of the cell body. 2  They function to obtain information from other cells and carry that information to the cell body. 3  Many neurons also have an axon, which carries information from the soma to other cells, but many small cells do not. The axon carries messages in the form of action potentials from the cell body to its endfeet, which synapse upon other neurons or effector organs. 2  Cells with long axons are called principal neurons. 3  These cells establish the pattern of connectivity within the nervous system.
