👉 In biology, a neurite is a long, branching axon of a neuron. Neurites are responsible for transmitting information from one cell to another in the nervous system. They carry signals such as electrical impulses and neurotransmitters between neurons, allowing communication between different parts of the body. The term "neuritises" refers to the process by which neurites grow and become tangled together, forming a network or complex structure within a neuron.
