Structure of Neuron

Neuron is a primary cell that is responsible for communication and integration between the nervous system. The structure of responsible for this consists of three main parts:

  • Cell body:

The cell body is also known as soma. It is the neuron's core which carries out genetic information, provide energy to simulate an action, and maintain the neuron's structure as a whole.

  • Axon:

An axon is long tail-like structure that conducts electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body or soma. The axon extends from the cell body and often causes to happen many smaller branches before terminating at nerve terminals.

  • Dendrites:

Dendrites branch out from the cell body and receives messages from other neurons and process signals from axons of other neurons. Neurons can have more sets of dendrites which are known as dendrites trees.

A neuron is consist of nucleus and covered by cell body. The cell body branched out is termed as the dendreon and the longest extension of the dendreon is termed as axon. The dendreons are further branched out are known as dendrites. The axon terminal branched out into synaptic ending or the ending of the axon terminal is termed as the synaptic ending. The axon terminal is covered by a seath like structure is termed as myelin seath. The myelin seath is discontinued at certain places are termed as nodes of ranvier.
