Question

explain the structure and function of a neuron....​

Answer 1

Answer:

below u can get the full explanations explanations explanations explanations

Explanation:

First the neurons are located one below the other and it transfers nerve impulses from one neuron to another so that the body can perform the functions as per the order given by the brain.

STRUCTURE:

First a neuron is divided into 3 basic parts:

1. cyton
2. dendron
3. axon

1. CYTON:The cell body of the neuron is called the cyton. it consists of various cell organells like nissl granule,nucleus,mitochondria etc.The function of cyton is to transfer the nerve impluse from the dendron of the preceeding neuron to the axon .
2. DENDRON:The finger like projections that comes out of the cell body or cyton is called the dendron. it carries the nerve implules from the axon terminal of the preceeding neuron to the cell body.The dendron has further divided into thinner projections called dendrides
3. AXON:The tail like structure that comes down of the cyton is called the axon. it carries the nerve impulses from the cyton to the axon terminals.

Now like this the nerve impulses travel in a neuron . like this it continues and the nerve impulses finally reach our musles and gives it the message of the brain

FUNCTION:

the neuron is used to send the messages like a messenger and tranfers the message of the brain to all the parts of the body.Hece we can say that a neuron helps to control and operate or coordinate our body.
