Neurons and Nerves

Explanation:

Neuron

• They are the microscopic structure that acts as a functional unit of the neural system.
• It is composed of three major parts:- cell body or soma, dendrites and axon.
• The cell body contains cytoplasm and nucleus in the centre. The cell organelles are present with granular bodies called nissl's granules.
