Neuron :

A neuron is the structural and functional unit of the nervous system. A neuron consists of three basic parts,

  1. Cyton or Cell body or Perikaryon
  2. Dendrites
  3. 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.
