Question

Describe the structure of a neuron in simple words .

Answer 1

Neuron is the bond of cells which is connected to one another.

Answer 2

hi..

The brain is a very complicated organ. In fact, we have yet to learn everything there is to know about the brain. However, we do know that it is comprised of highly specialized cells called neurons.

Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system. They send and receive information all over the body using both chemical and electrical signals.

The most common way information is transmitted is through a single neuron electrically and then transmitted to the target cell chemically. The structure of neurons is designed for the most efficient transmission of these signals.

The Structure of a Neuron

Although neurons look complicated, their design is actually quite simple. The neuron is broken up into two major regions:

A region for receiving and processing incoming information from other cells

A region for conducting and transmitting information to other cells

The type of information that is received, processed and transmitted by a neuron depends on its location in the nervous system. For example, neurons located in the occipital lobe process visual information, whereas neurons in the motor pathways process and transmit information that controls the movement of muscles. However, regardless of the type of information, all neurons have the same basic anatomical structure.
