... Codeine: a naturally occurring component (alkaloid) of opium. It is capable of inducing sleep, relieving pain, and causing addiction, but it is weaker than the opiates morphine and heroin in producing these effects. Dendrite: a fiber-like extension of a neuron that receives signals from other cells. ...
