Neuron :
A neuron is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. A neuron consists of three basic parts,
- Cyton or Cell body or Perikaryon
- Dendrites
- Axon.
Cyton :
- It has a central nucleus with abundant cytoplasm called neuroplasm.
- The cytoplasm has large granular and the other cell organelles like mitochondria, ribosomes, lysosomes and endoplasmic reticulum.
- Neurons do not have the ability to divide.
- Several neurofibrils help in transmission of nerve impulses to and from the cell body.
Dendrites :
- These are the numerous branched cytoplasmic processes that project from the surface of the cell body.
- They conduct nerve impulses towards the cyton.
- The branched projections increase the surface area for receiving the signals from other nerve cells.
Axon :
- The axon is a single elongated slender projection.
- The end of axon terminates as knob like swellings called synaptic knob. It carries impulse away from cyton.
- Axolemma : Plasma membrane of axon.
- Axoplasm : The cytoplasm if axon.
Myelin Sheath :
- The protective sheath of axon.
- It is covered by a layer of Schwann cells called Nuerilemma.
- It breaks at intervals by depressions called Nodes of Ranvier.
- It acts as an insulator and ensures rapid transmission of nerves impulses.
