Question

define the structure of nerve cell briefly​

Answer 1

Answer:

Nerve cells are also called 'neurons' and can be as long as 3 feet. Nerve cells are composed of tiny branches called dendrons which branch into further even smaller extensions called dendrites. They also have a nucleus surrounded by cytoplasm, a cell membrane and an axon. The axon is a long fibre that is coated or insulated in a fatty sheath made out of a substance called myelin

Answer 2

• Nerve cells are crucial in our bodies because they transmit information from the peripheral nervous system to the central nervous system as electrical impulses.
• Nerve cells, often known as 'neurons,' can grow to reach three feet long.
• Dendrons, which branch into even smaller extensions called dendrites, make up nerve cells.
• A nucleus, surrounded by cytoplasm, a cell membrane, and an axon are also present.
• The axon is a long fiber that is encased in a fatty myelin sheath.
• The neuron's ability to transfer electrical impulses from one location in the body to another is due to this insulation.
