Yes, they're both very branched/pseudopodic cells. They both look very similar. However, a dendritic cell differs from a dendrite morphologically because of the lack of a looong tube called the "axon" covered by a myelin sheath ending in an axon terminal. Dendritic cells just look like branchy blobs in tissue, waiting for a bug to come along to continue it's path; while dendrites are branchy blobs with a long tail, waiting for signals from other dendrites or an external stimulus (like touch).
I'm pretty sure what you're asking about is called the "dendrite". Dendritic cells in this case are agents of the immune system. I'm not an expert, but I beileve they're the cells in your tissue that engulf a pathogen, leave the tissue and migrate to the lymph organs in order to activate the adaptive immunity cells that are specific for that pathogen. Then those cells can create antibodies specific for that pathogen...among other functions I'm too tired to recall at the moment...

but those DCs they look alot like a Neuron with all their dendrites....is it posible that DC are nerve cells as well?

are dendritic cells the neurons of the body?

Nice footage. What are you using as a marker?
