Question

Explain the structure and function of neuron?​

Answer 1

Answer:

. It is the basic structural and functional unit of nervous system.

• it consists of cyton or cell body.

• it has dendrites which are short branching structures arising from the cyton.

• last one is axon which are fine terminal nerve endings.

• Neuron constitute the peripheral nervous system .

Answer 2

neuron is the basic structural and functional unit of the entire nervous system.

It consists of cyton/cell body/soma,dendrites,nucleus,Axon and Axon ends.

Neuron or nerve cell is the longest cell in human body approximately 1 m in length.

They help in transferring of messages to brain.

First of all, the chemical substances near the dendritic points are converted into electric signals/electrical impulse and these signals are carried to the brain through a chain of chemical reactions between Neurons.
