Question

I want the answers on write a short note on structure of neuron ?

Answer 1

The brain is a very complicated organ. In fact, we have yet to learn everything there is to know about the brain. However, we do know that it is comprised of highly specialized cells called neurons.

Neurons are the building blocks of the nervous system. They send and receive information all over the body using both chemical and electrical signals.

The most common way information is transmitted is through a single neuron electrically and then transmitted to the target cell chemically. The structure of neurons is designed for the most efficient transmission of these signals.

The Structure of a Neuron

Although neurons look complicated, their design is actually quite simple. The neuron is broken up into two major regions:

A region for receiving and processing incoming information from other cells

A region for conducting and transmitting information to other cells

Answer 2

A neuron is consist of nucleus and covered by cell body. The cell body branched out is termed as the dendreon and the longest extension of the dendreon is termed as axon. The dendreons are further branched out are known as dendrites. The axon terminal branched out into synaptic ending or the ending of the axon terminal is termed as the synaptic ending. The axon terminal is covered by a seath like structure is termed as myelin seath. The myelin seath is discontinued at certain places are termed as nodes of ranvier.
