Question

explain the structure of neuron according
to class 10th ​

Answer 1

The neuron consists of cell body called cyton.From cyton ,small branches arise called dendrons.From dendrons,again small branches arise called dendrites.There is also a long brach arises called axon which is covered by myelin seath

Answer 2

1)Cell Body:The cell body is also called as cyton.It has abundant cytoplasm called neuroplasm and spherical nucleus,mitochondria,neurotubules,neurofibrils,golgi apparatus.

2)Dendrites:There are several short branches stretching out from cell body.They conduct nerve impulses towards cell body.

3)Axon:It is a single,very long cylindrical fibre arising from cell body.They conduct nerve impulses away from cell body.They have an insulating and protective sheath of myelin around it.

The neurons lie end-to-end in chains to transmit nerve impulses.Each neuron receives an impulse through its dendrites and passes it on the next neuron in the chain through axon via cell body.

There occurs a very minute gap between terminal portion of axon of one neuron and dendrite of other neuron. This gap is called synapse.
