Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of dendrites in a neuron: Dendrites are the branched extensions of a neuron that receive signals from other neurons. They play a crucial role in the communication between neurons.

Identify the primary functions of dendrites: Dendrites are responsible for receiving electrical signals from other neurons, integrating synaptic inputs, and increasing the surface area for synaptic connections.

Consider the process of signal transmission in neurons: Signals are typically received by dendrites, processed in the cell body, and then transmitted away from the neuron via the axon to the axon terminal.

Evaluate the options given in the problem: Compare each option to the known functions of dendrites. The option that does not align with the typical functions of dendrites is the one that is not a function of dendrites.

Determine which option is not a function of dendrites: Since dendrites do not transmit signals to the axon terminal, this option is not a function of dendrites. Transmission to the axon terminal is the role of the axon.
