Hii friend!!

HOW DOES A NEURON DIFFER FROM AN ORDINARY CELL IN STRICTURE?

NEURON :-

• Neuron belongs to only nervous system.
• Each cell is divided into three parts.
(1) Cell body
(2) Axon
(3) Dendrites
• Cell body is grey in colour. Axon is white in colour.
• They help in carrying sensations to the brain and spinal cord.
• Once the cell is destroyed,no new cell is generated in the place of the destroyed one.
• Each nerve cell ends with nerve terminal which connects another neuron or nerve cell.
• They are cells with prominent nucleus.

ORDINARY CELL :-

• These cells are confirmed to all the body parts except nervous system.
• No specific divisions of parts in the cell.
• Different tissues in various organs possess different colours.
• Cells help in functioning of organs in organ system.
• Once the cell is destroyed, new cell generates in the place of dead or destroyed one.
• Based on the location and function,intercellular space in the organs varies from one organ system to the other.
• Function,location,growth and formation decides presence of nucleus.
