Neurons are the fundamental unit of the nervous system. Neurons are also called as nerve cells. The main function of the neurons is to pass the receiving information and send appropriate signals to the rest parts of the body. The signals received are in the form of electrical signals. Neuron comprises of dendrite, axon and cell body. Dendrites receives messages from the surrounding and sends it to the cell body. Cell body consists of nucleus, mitochondria and other organelles. Axon transmits the message away from the cell body and pass it to the the next receiving neuron.

Neurons are nerve cells which are the functional units of the nervous system. The three main parts of a neuron are dendrite, cell body and axon.
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.
