Neuron ⚔️
A neuron is a microscopic structure of three major parts :
- cell body
- dendrites
- axon
⏩structure
It consists of a cell body or cyton, with a central nucleus and cytoplasm containing Nissl's granules. Short, thin branching processes called dendrites arise from the cyton. There also arises a long, cylindrical process calles axon from the cyton. Axon gives out fine branches terminally, each of which ends in a swollen synaptic knob,
synaptic knob posses synaptic vessels,containg chemicals called
neutrotransmitters.
⏩functions
Dendrite:
It detect information and conducts the messages towards the cell body.
Cell body:
It contains nucleus, mitochondria, and other cell organelles. It maintains the growth of the cell.
Axon:
It conducts messages away from the cell body and pass to the next neuron.
